Where to study on campus

Study spaces on campus have changed in response to the national restrictions now in place.

We will keep this page updated regularly with all the latest information on where you can study on campus.

Looking to study on campus?

You can currently book study space (including computer clusters) on campus. If you have to take an assessment on campus because you can’t study at home, please book your space in plenty of time.

Weekdays and Saturdays until the end of summer:

Brotherton Library (evenings only on weekdays)

If you’d like to study outside, we’ve got three locations where you can find tables and purple parasol umbrellas. You don’t need to book these, but remember to follow the safety rules on campus. You’ll find them:
