University teaching rooms
You can also book a University teaching room to study between your timetabled teaching sessions through ResourceBooker.
Each Faculty also has its own local spaces. These will have been communicated to you directly.
Online study sessions
Looking to connect with your peers online while you study? Book one of our online study sessions, run by the Library on Zoom. You can choose to join an environment that suits you (quiet study, silent study or break space), and you’ll have the opportunity to ask Library staff questions while you’re working. Sessions run twice a day on Tuesdays and Thursdays (9am to 12.30pm and 1pm to 4.30pm).
