Location map
Venue Address: University of Warwick, Coventry, CV4 7AL
Travel and parking
The University of Warwick campus is approximately three miles away from Coventry city centre.
The main campus postcode is CV4 7AL. However, if you wish to park in the car park the University of Warwick has recommended to use its post code is CV4 7JJ. Kirby Corner car park can be accessed via the Kirby Corner and Gibbett Hill Roads. Members of the NEBOSH Team will be located near the Kirby Corner car park, and there will be directional signage from this car park which is a 5-10 minute walk from Warwick Arts Centre. The Kirby Corner car park and all other car parks on campus can be view on the University’s interactive map.
The Graduation is a popular event so please allow plenty of time to arrive on the day.
Book your Parking
We are pleased to offer you free parking in any of the campus car parks if you register for a permit in advance. When booking, fill in your details and type LXUTI into the promo code box (please make sure there are no spaces in between characters or before the first character. You must TYPE this code and not copy and paste). Adding this code will ensure that your total changes to “£0.00”.
You do not need to print and display your parking permit, as the car parks at the University of Warwick use cameras to automatically verify whether you have a valid permit. Please note the cost for all day parking is £25 if code LXUTI is not used. Fines will apply if you do not make a parking booking online.
Disabled parking
There are limited designated disabled bays on campus and in University of Warwick car parks. Please follow the above process to obtain a permit in advance and display your blue badge when parking in a disabled parking space.
The closest disabled parking spaces are just behind the Warwick Arts Centre, in the Conference Reception car park. The best route to these spots is to follow the one way system along the Academic Loop road, turning left onto University Road and then first right down the side of the Faculty of Arts. There are multiple accessible parking spots at this location. Disabled parking is also available on Health Centre Road, which is a left turn further along University Road. The university’s interactive map is a useful resource.
After the ceremony
We’ll continue the celebrations with a complimentary drinks reception for you and your guests after each ceremony. These will take place over in the Rootes building, which is marked on the campus map and is opposite the Warwick Arts Centre. There will be members of the NEBOSH team to direct you.
There will be a number of exhibition stands for you to visit, including a NEBOSH Alumni stand, where you will be able to sign up to become a member if you haven’t already done so, purchase NEBOSH Alumni merchandise and learn all about the benefits of joining the Alumni. You will be able to collect your exclusive NEBOSH Alumni pin badge too!
If you have any questions regarding the Alumni prior to Graduation, please contact the Alumni Team on [email protected] or call +44 (0)116263 4700.
Photographs
The Ede & Ravenscroft photography studios will be open from 8am (scrolls are provided as props for your photographs). In addition, a photograph will be taken of you on stage.
NEBOSH will have two roving photographers and a videographer taking images throughout the day. Please bear in mind that images taken by NEBOSH's roving photographers and videographers will be available free for all attendees to view online after the ceremonies. Photos could be added to our social media channels, website and used in NEBOSH publications. It is not possible or practical to seek consent for image capture from each individual attending this event. We will therefore conclude that by attending the event, participants and their guests (including children) agree to their image being captured for the purposes stated above.
First Aid
If you or a member of your party feel ill or need first aid assistance at any time during the day, please advise a member of University of Warwick staff who will be able to help.
