Reaching campus is a breeze. A range of public bus services—including Go Cornwall and other Transport for Cornwall operators—will drop you inside or right by the college before your 9:15 am start and pick you up after lessons at 4:15 pm. Plus, staff are ready to assist at both drop-off and pick-up times.

Need a travel pass? The Go Cornwall College bus pass gives you access both to college transport and wider routes across Cornwall. You can apply for a bursary, purchase your pass via the College Online Store, and activate it in the Go Cornwall or RideTandem app—ready to go from day one.

Prefer greener travel? Choose walking or cycling. The Coosebean Greenway links Truro town centre to campus in just 30 minutes on foot, and a bike ride can take as little as 25 minutes if you’re within five miles. We’ve got you covered with cycle storage, showers, and even a free cycle maintenance facility

Driving? Free—but limited—on-campus parking is available if you get a permit upon enrolment.
