Bus: The Garthdee campus is accessible by bus from the city centre on bus routes 1, 2 or 9 from Union Street. The journey takes approximately thirty minutes.
Road: The B986 (Denburn Road) runs directly past the city-centre campus. The Garthdee Campus does not have particularly good parking facilities, and it is perhaps better for drivers to leave their cars elsewhere.
