Please be aware that parking is very restricted in the city and on our campuses, and we strongly advise you not to travel by car unless absolutely necessary.

Oxford Brookes University operates a virtual permit system, linked to vehicle registration. Permits are required for vehicles parking during peak hours (07:00-17:00, Monday to Friday), alongside permit holder daily parking tariff charges.

During peak hours, visitors enquiring about parking on campus will need a parking space pre-booked by a member of the department they are meeting.
