Study Break Pass

As part of our Is it ever OK campaign, we asked 'Is it ever OK to use your belongings to hold on to a study space?' Your feedback told us that you would like to be able to reserve a study space while you take a break, especially at exam time when you may be spending long periods in the library.


We've listened and as part of Exam Plus we've introduced a 45 minute study break pass. These are now available for collection from any of our customer service points.

Let us know what you think.

Welcome to Exam Plus!

Take a look at the Exam Plus web pages to find out how the Library, and our colleagues throughout the University, can help you during your exams. The web pages are separated into 4 useful sections: Find a Space, Find Skills, Find a PC, and Find Help. The Find a Space and Find a PC sections provide up-to-date information to help you find study spaces during busy periods. From 3 May the Library has secured extra study spaces around the University and details of these can be found under Find a Space. The Find Help section also provides links to further sources of help that you may need during the exam period, including information skills tutorials, workshops, revision tips and exam do's and don'ts.  There is also information about who to contact should you need further help.
