About us

Opening hours

We are open to staff, students and visitors 24 hours, 7 days a week during semester, with staffing from 8am-6pm Monday to Friday.

The Library will be open 08.30-12am (midnight) between Monday 9th December and Sunday 29th December.

From Monday 30th December onwards the Library will be open 24 hours.

The Library is the home of Library and Learning Services, bringing together the spaces, expertise, and materials that support the University community in their learning, teaching, and research journeys.

We provide our students with plenty of support during their studies, including online searching for Library resources, services for study and development support, and a team who provide disability and neurodiversity support.

We have a large collection of archives and special collections for students, staff and researchers to use and make our research publicly available and reusable through open research.

Exam period visitor access restrictions to the Library from 6th January to 24th January 2025 inclusive

Visitor access to the Library is restricted during the above exam period due to pressure on study spaces for our students. During this time we are unable to admit any visitors wishing to use our study spaces. Normal access will resume after these dates.
