Teaching facilities & building lobbies
When needed, you can also use some of the teaching facilities at the campuses for independent study when they are not booked for teaching or other activities. Ask the building porter about available spaces. Please note that you might not be the only student using the facility. If needed, agree together on basic ground rules.
You can also make use of building lobbies. All suitable lobbies can be used for studying at times when they're not reserved for other use.
Read more about the different spaces on the instruction page Learning facilities and find your own corner!
Need a laptop?
Our IT Centre's Laptop Lender service is available on all campuses. From the lender, you can borrow a laptop for just a few hours or the whole day. Visit the IT Helpdesk website for instructions on how to use the Laptop Lender service.
