Group work or a quick catch-up? Find out where to go
Want to work on an assignment or have a group discussion? There are various spaces across the faculty where you can collaborate. Some rooms need to be booked in advance, others are freely accessible. Here’s how it works:
Studying together? Reserve your room
Need to secure a spot? Simply book a room via Shareddesk. Under the ‘General’ tab, you’ll find the university guidelines for using study spaces.
