Reading rooms and study spaces on campus

As a UiB-student you can read in reading rooms, libraries, group rooms, seating areas, and common areas.

Reading rooms

You can choose between reading rooms or seating areas at the faculties, or different reading areas at the libraries. Other buildings, such as the Student Centre, also have study spaces in the common area that you can use. Many of the workstations have power outlets so you can bring your own laptop or tablet.

The study spaces are usually open to all students at UiB. At most reading places, it’s first come, first served, while a few places at the Library of Science and Technology can be booked in advance.

Be mindful in the reading room

  • Use the study spaces only to study or for assignments.
  • Clear the space as you go.
  • Be quiet in the reading areas.

Places for group work

If you need to work with others on your assignments, you can work in groups at study spaces, seating areas, in common areas or in separate group rooms. You can book the group rooms where it suits you best.
