We are operating with limited capacity
In light of 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 is therefore open for study space bookings from Monday - Sunday, 9.00am – 9.00pm.
Staffed services on our reception desk will operate between 9am and 5pm, Monday to Friday. Outside of these hours, the building will be open via card access only.
PLEASE NOTE, face coverings should be worn at all times in the Graduate School building, even when at your desk or PC.
For more information, please read our Guide to Studying and Working in the Graduate School below.
