There are a variety of places to study across the university campuses and the library, with a mixture of facilities and space. Some resources are also available to access remotely.
Please note that due to current restrictions, study areas are not available for group events, activities, or as a place to spend time socialising and relaxing. In addition, spaces that are available during the day close between 5-6pm (dependent upon seminars and activities taking place). In line with Government legislation in England, face coverings are mandatory in some University settings, including our library, which is a Joint University and Public library. It is also mandatory to wear a mask in shops, which includes our Campus shop.
QR codes are placed around each campus particularly when entering classroom and seminar settings, which enables tracking and tracing. The University strongly recommends that students and staff wear a face covering in all other indoor settings, particularly when you are moving around campus or cannot maintain social distancing.
