Return to Campus
Our Campus Commitment
In light of current government guidelines surrounding the Covid-19 pandemic, there have been some changes to how we operate and how we can work together to keep everyone safe and well.
Latest Updates as of January 2021
Opening Hours: Monday - Sunday, 9.00am - 9.00pm (card access only).
We are operating with limited capacity
In light of the latest restrictions announced by the NI Executive, in effect from 26 December 2020, travelling to the University for the purposes of education is permitted if you are unable to study at home. The Graduate School building will therefore remain open for study space bookings from Monday - Sunday, 9.00am – 9.00pm.
The building will be open via card access only and face coverings should be worn at all times, even when at your desk or PC. Please consider whether or not your visit is absolutely necessary before making your booking. As per the email you received mid-December, you should arrange an asymptomatic test before coming to campus.
For more information, please read our Guide to Studying and Working in the Graduate School below.
We are still here for you
Staffed services at the Graduate School will be unavailable from Tuesday 12th January in order to limit face-to-face contact. You can still contact us via phone (028 9097 2585) or email graduateschool@qub.ac.uk. Our virtual reception team are working remotely and will be happy to assist you or set up a Microsoft Teams call if you prefer to speak face-to-face.
