Current students and staff can reserve a Group Study Room (located in the North Wing floors 2 - 5) to use as an individual, or for up to 12 students to study in a group.

Postgraduate students (and undergraduate students registered with the Student Wellbeing and Inclusivity Service) can also book the Postgraduate Group Study Room, located within the Postgraduate Reading Room, to use as an individual, or for up to 6 students to study in a group. Access to this room requires a student ID card.

Bookings can be made Monday - Friday, 9am - 6pm. Outside of these times the rooms can be used on a first come first served basis (with the exception of the Postgraduate Group Study Room as this will be unavailable outside of bookable times). Outside each room will be a printed calendar so you can see if the room is booked, alternatively check the online booking system for availability.

Please note: rooms must be booked in advance and are not available for booking same day. These spaces are available first-come-first-served if there is no booking on the day - please check the calendar outside of the room.
