Travel arrangements
You need to make your own way there and claim travel expenses through the normal procedure in your university.
The University of York can be easily reached via a taxi from the taxi rank outside York Railway Station or there are various campus bus services operating just outside the Railway Station:

If you are driving to the University, there are pay and display car parks on campus, however we advise arriving early as spaces can fill up quickly and are also more limited due to Biology building works (please refer to map links below).
