If you’re a new student, you’ll soon be using the Library, IT services and study spaces to help you do your work. Here’s how to get started and make the most of them.
For more tips, guides and videos, take a look at the Hello Library & IT website.
Get online
You can connect to WiFi and wired internet as soon as you arrive on campus.
If you need any help, visit a WiFi Help Point or Support Desk and our friendly staff will help you get connected.
Go to a Library and IT Welcome Session
A welcome session is your best chance to explore the Library and find out about IT services.
Sessions take about 1 hour. They run from Monday – Friday in Welcome Week, between 10:00-17:30.
Check the timetable (coming soon) to see if there is a session for your subject. If not, or if you miss it, come to any free session.
You’ll learn about:
- finding and borrowing books
- where you can study
- PCs, Library laptops and campus internet
- printing, copying and scanning
You’ll also get a free travel mug and a drink voucher for the Library café, and the chance to win a £20 Amazon voucher.
Library opening times
- Arrivals Weekend and Welcome Week (Saturday 17– Sunday 25 September): 08:00-00:00 midnight

Find your way around the Library
Find everything you need in the Templeman Library, including maps, facilities, and the best study zone for you.
Study spaces all over campus
The Library isn’t the only place you can study. There are PC rooms and study hubs across campus, open to all students. They’re a great place to work when you want to stay close to your room, the Library is very busy, or you just want a different space.
