About Milton Keynes

Milton Keynes is a relatively new town that was created in the 1960s by the government in response to the need for more new houses. It is situated in the Southeast of England and is now amongst the most economically productive areas in the UK. The town which recently celebrated 50 years is famous as the home of the Open University which was established in 1969. Because Milton Keynes is a created town rather than one that has grown over the decades it has a very good transport infrastructure making it incredibly easy to access and a great base for project management courses.

Transport

Planned with accessibility in mind Milton Keynes is just a 50-minute ride away from Luton Airport which is easy to get to from destinations within the UK, Europe and even a few that are a little further afield. Transport and great links were top of the list when Milton Keynes was built and as a result, getting here on public transport really couldn’t be simpler. The station has direct train links to both London and Birmingham as well as a number of other major cities in the UK. The M1 runs right past the city offering links to London in the South and Leeds and Sheffield in the North. Whilst in Milton Keynes visitors will find it very easy to use public transport thanks to the comprehensive service that is on offer.

Most project management courses can last for several days, so it is a good idea to find some local accommodation. Milton Keynes
