The UAB campus is located in Bellaterra, at 20km outside Barcelona city. To come here from Barcelona you can come by train, it takes about 35-40 minutes. There are two train companies which arrive to the UAB, but the most convenient one is Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat de Catalunya (FGC).
You can consult the web site of the FGC, you must take the green line or S2 (ending at Sabadell Parc del Nord).
The Ferrocarrils stop at Universitat Autonoma and leave you right in the center of the campus, at the Plaça Cívica.
