Library

Our modern Library was refurbished in 2016 and has gone from strength to strength. You will enjoy the modern facilities with many different styles of seating so you can find a place that suits you best. There are also study spaces you can book out for group work, and a range of learning resources and guides to help you make the most of the resources available.

Learning Zone

Located across from the Library, the Learning Zone is a 24/7 study space that is excellent for group work, and equally good if you want to study independently in an informal environment. The zone has a range of pods, all with interactive technology, some of which can be booked for group project work, practising presentations or coursework meetings.
