Lab, study space, and lecture booking

Book lab or study space

Introduction

Undergradute and MSc students wishing to use lab and study spaces within the Department must book a space.

There is a booking system for all undergraduate labs, MSc labs, and study spaces in the Department that are available to students. There is also a booking system that should be used to attend multimode lectures in person. Please scroll down to the bottom of the page for information on this.

In line with College and government guidance we have to limit the number of students who can work in the Department. To ensure fairness we have introduced a booking app

You should read the information on Contact Tracing and Safety on Campus before making your first booking/

Safety on campus and in the Department

Our 1st day safety induction from the Autumn terms gives you information on safety on campus, the layout of the Department and one way systems, and emergency contact numbers.  Please read through this and watch the videos in the presentation before you return to campus.

Lecture Booking

Running alongside this, but separate, is a booking system to attend multimode lectures in person
