Getting to the University of York
The Psychology Building is marked on the maps available here.
As there is only one post code for the whole university campus a sat nav may not bring you to the right part of the campus.
When travelling in a car, you need to enter the university by the Heslington Lane entrance (Goodricke Way). This is the first turn after Fulford Golf Club (YO10 5DY), left if you are heading east towards Heslington village.
When travelling by train get a taxi from the station and ask for the Psychology Building at the University of York
