Student Room Bookings

General Student Bookings

If you are a student requiring study space, there are a number of options available to you which can be seen on the Study Space web page.

It is also permitted for students to use any empty teaching room for quiet study, with the understanding they must vacate if someone with a formal room booking arrives.

Rooms can also be formally booked by students for course related activities, including project work, revision, presentation practice, etc. Bookings will not be permitted for non-University purposes.

Please be aware that:

  • Availability for student bookings may be limited due to other critical University business, including teaching. Therefore, regular bookings may not be possible, and you may need to book week-by-week.
  • During busier times there is limited availability on campus, so it may not always be possible to complete your request.
  • It may not always be possible to complete requests for sessions on the same or next day. Therefore, please provide us with as much notice as possible for your booking.

Student Society Bookings

Registered student societies may book teaching rooms for their meetings & events. Please note that there are a number of restrictions, which ensure that your event will not be inappropriate, disruptive for others, or violate any University rules.

Student societies may request rooms after 18:00, but any requests must be received prior to 12:00 on Friday of the previous week, at the latest. After this, requests will be rejected. This is to ensure that the various teams that enable events to occur behind the scenes are able to reasonably complete the work required to do so. Please see the Room Booking Rules for further details.

Before arranging a booking, please make yourself aware of the Room Booking Rules.
