How to get there

  • How to get there by metro– Take line 12, ‘MetroSur’. The stop is called ‘Universidad Rey Juan Carlos’ and the metro exit is about 20 m from the main door of the campus.
  • How to get there by train (RENFE)– Take line C-5 towards Móstoles-El Soto. One possibility is to get to the last stop at ‘Móstoles/El Soto’. Once you leave the train station, take the flyover that leads to a large car park and there turn left and walk to a side access gate to the campus, next to the roundabout. Another possibility is to leave the train at ‘Móstoles Central’ station and take the metro (only one stop) to ‘Universidad Rey Juan Carlos’.
  • How to get there by bus– Line 522 leaves from Madrid, Príncipe Pío (you can get to this bus station by metro) and stops at Avda. Alcalde de Móstoles, about 50 m from the main gate of the campus.
  • How to get there by car– Take the N-V motorway towards Badajoz; in Alcorcón leave the motorway and take the service road. Important: just after taking this road there is a sign indicating ‘Universidad Rey Juan Carlos’ which you MUST IGNORE because it leads to the Alcorcón campus. Instead, go straight on for 2 km until you find another sign indicating ‘Universidad Rey Juan Carlos’.
