Book a study seat or group study room
Our libraries and study centres are open for drop-in study, but you can book a seat to guarantee your spot. You can also book group study rooms for collaborative work and individual digital study pods for online meetings
This is a free service for our students, and you should only book spaces for yourself. If you have any issues with booking a study space, please report it to a member of library staff or email library-enquiries@bristol.ac.uk
