Extended opening hours

Our six largest libraries will be open until 2am (Sunday to Thursday) throughout the spring term. From 3 – 7 April, these libraries will stay open until 4am to support students observing Ramadan.

You will need your university card for entrance to the libraries during our extended opening hours (10pm – 2am). Libraries are trialling a new way of providing access for those who forget their card, please check the online guidance before visiting.

Study spaces can be booked via Click and Study until 8.45pm. After this time, all library spaces are available on a first-come, first-served basis, including group spaces for collaborative working.

Libraries will also be offering additional drop-in study spaces on Jubilee and University Park campuses. Visit Study here for more information.
