Study Spaces

The right environment is the KEY to any effective study session. Studying on campus? Here are some of our recommendations for study spaces according to your study goals!

Working in a group?

A study buddy is a great way to motivate you to work, but keep in mind not to disturb other people studying around you. Here are the places on campus that allow you to study and have catch-ups at the same time:

Business School

The Business School is a popular study spot, especially when you want to work with a friend. There are plenty of study tables and booths for larger groups and microwaves on every floor in case you get hungry! Many of these study spaces also include whiteboards and powerpoints which is perfect when working on a group assignment

Getting into the zone?

Main Library

Levels 2 - 6, 8 provide study rooms with large tables and the perfect environment to focus on getting that group work done Keep in mind that having larger meals like lunch can only be eaten on Level 2.

Sometimes all we need is peace and quiet (and a large cup of coffee) to grind through those tough exams and assessments. These study spaces are perfect for when you need to focus on those upcoming due dates.

Main Library

The Main Library is just as effective for getting solo studying done. Level 7 is dedicated entirely to silent study and students can also reserve individual study spaces on Levels 3-4 and 7 including comfortable study pods The library also offers other services such as printers, scanners and even a nap area

Law Library

Study spaces in the Law Library are vibrant yet cosy. There are plenty of individual study booths that require no booking and allow for some intense focus during your study session

CATS Rooms

All study spaces taken? Try finding an empty CATS room for silent study. Be sure to check the timetable on the door first to see if the room is available

Studying outside?

Don’t waste a beautiful day! Campus has plenty of places where you can get your work done while also enjoying the sun.

Outside tables and booths

UNSW offers a wide variety of different booths and tables all over campus for outside study Some tables even have power points so you won’t need to worry about your device losing charge while you enjoy the nice weather. Some great places include the Quad, outside the SEB building and the Library Lawn

Cafes

There are plenty of great places to buy a coffee on campus such as Plume Cafe and the well-named Coffee on Campus Have a great study session surrounded by the aroma of freshly made coffee and even buy a snack to munch on while you work. You deserve it!
