Location

The School of Creative & Cultural Industries offers programmes across the Ayr, Hamilton and Paisley Campuses.

The 2011 new Ayr Campus is set within 20 acres of parkland near the centre of the town, overlooking a river. It is situated 10 minutes from Glasgow-Prestwick International Airport and 40 minutes from Glasgow International Airport.

The A77/M77 links Ayr to Paisley and Glasgow in just under an hour. There are frequent public bus and rail services, and to the south is Stranraer, with regular Seacat and ferry crossings to Northern Ireland. Ferry services also operate from nearby Troon.

The Hamilton Campus is located in the heart of Lanarkshire offering a lively, safe and friendly atmosphere. Hamilton is well-served with travel links and is centrally located just eleven miles south of Glasgow. The main rail line from London and the Midlands to Glasgow is ten minutes from Hamilton, and there is also a fast and frequent service from Hamilton to Glasgow. Edinburgh and Stirling are all within easy reach and the campus is also within two hours of Stranraer and Cairnryan ferry terminals.
