Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all study rooms at both campuses will be unavailable until further notice. 

​​​Study Rooms are available for students to use if they are looking for somewhere quieter to study alone or in groups, whilst having access to a computer.  Study Rooms are available in the Llandaff and Cyncoed Learning Centres.

The study rooms at Llandaff have between 2 and 4 PCs and the Cyncoed rooms each have at least one PC in them.  All PCs have exactly the same software as in the main IT suite. 

Booking Rules

• Students can book a maximum of 2 x 2 hour bookings per day.

• Students are allowed to renew bookings, 15 minutes before the end of the booking assuming the room isn't booked by another student.  (Students could book a session 9-11 and 11-1PM and assuming the room isn't been booked after 1PM, potentially renew the 11-1 booking which will reserve the room until 3PM).
