Travel and Maps to the School of Medicine and Dentistry campus
Travel by Car
The main traffic routes into Aberdeen are the A90 from the South and the A96 from the North. The A90 is entirely dual carriageway south of Aberdeen; the A96 has stretches of dual carriageway. Like many major cities, Aberdeen is becoming congested with traffic and the rush hour is best avoided if possible. Parking at the University is tight during term time. Visitors can get a permit before arriving by contacting the department they will be visiting.
Access from the south
Follow the directions above to reach the ring road (Anderson Drive). Exit from the ring road at a set of traffic lights onto Ashgrove Road West and continue along this road until you reach Foresterhill hospital. The Medical School is adjacent to the hospital; its entrance is off Ashgrove Road West.
Access from the north
As you approach Aberdeen on the A96, follow the signs to the A90 (Dundee and the South). This leads round the ring road (Anderson Drive). Exit from the ring road by turning left at a set of traffic lights onto Ashgrove Road West, and continue along this road until you reach Foresterhill hospital. The Medical School is adjacent to the hospital; its entrance is off Ashgrove Road West.

Travel by Air
Aberdeen's international airport is served by a number of major carriers providing an extensive network of routes throughout the UK, direct to Europe and worldwide through major hubs. British destinations include three of the four main London airports (Heathrow, Gatwick and Luton), Manchester, Newcastle, Belfast, Birmingham, Bristol and Norwich, as well as the Scottish Highlands and Islands. Major continental destinations include Amsterdam, Copenhagen and Stavanger.
Fares vary considerably depending on when you travel and how far in advance you book. For example easyJet flights between London Luton and Aberdeen can be as low as £50 return but rise if you book closer to your date of departure. Contact the airlines for up-to-date information.
Getting to and from the airport
The airport is located at Dyce, about 7 miles from the centre of Aberdeen. Taxis from the airport to the University cost around £10. Airport buses link to the city centre. There are two car parks, one short-term and the other long-term.
