Whether you are currently studying in Nottingham or elsewhere, our Libraries team are here to support you with preparing for your upcoming assessments.
Exam season is upon us and the libraries team are running support sessions and have dedicated support resources. You can find more information below or by visiting Libraries' exam page and remember to check out our refreshed pages to get exam ready.
Study space for individuals and groups
A wide range of bookable and drop-in spaces are available across our campuses. Find the space that is right for you:
Do you find it easier to study in the evening? We’ve extended the opening hours of six of our libraries until 2am (Sunday – Thursday) to allow more time for individual, silent study. No booking is required for study space after 9pm.
- Group study space: Bookable socially-distanced study space for groups of 3 – 8 people. Available in locations (outside libraries) across University Park and Jubilee Campus.
- Drop-in individual study space: Drop-in ‘study here’ spaces are available across our campuses.
Wherever you study, make sure you look after your wellbeing by taking regular breaks, eating healthy food and getting plenty of sleep.
Covid-19 safety measures are still in place in all our buildings, including libraries. Please make sure to follow the measures at all times, including when seated. Anyone failing to follow the safety measures will be asked to leave and will be unable to book study space for seven days.

Studying from home or just finding it hard to focus?

The sessions take place every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 11am – 1pm.
