More details about the bus pass scheme and bus routes and timetables can be found on our transport page.
Free car parking is available at the Truro campus but students must apply for a permit and conditions do apply.
Students are encouraged to take the healthy choice where possible and walk or cycle to College. The campus has cycle storage, a free cycle maintenance facility and showers for students to use.
It’s a really exciting place to learn with great facilities and teaching, in Cornwall especially, it’s a bit of a stand-out College.
