Book a study desk or group study room

In some libraries you can book a study desk to guarantee your spot. You can also reserve group study rooms for collaborative work and individual digital study pods for online meetings, seminars and 1:1s.

Booking allowances

  • Study desks: University of Bristol students can reserve up to 20 hours of study desk space per week, subject to availability.
  • Group study space: University of Bristol students can reserve up to 2 hours of group study space per day, subject to availability.
  • Digital Study pods: University of Bristol students can reserve up to 2 hours in the pods per day, subject to availability.

Most of our spaces are open for drop-in study.

If you’d prefer to reserve a study space ahead of time, bookable desks and individual private pods can be booked too.

If you plan to work with others, you can book a group study room:

  • Do not eat in group study rooms
  • Have your space ready for the next group before the end of your slot
  • Cancel a booking if you are unable to make it
