The Library has study spaces, supplies, snacks and exam support to help you make the most out of your time studying on campus during exams and end-of-session assignments.
Study with accountability
Drop in to a Facilitated Focus Session (FFS) during StuVac on Wednesday 21 and Thursday 22 May between 11am – 5pm, for productive group and individual study.
Get your study done in a specially curated space with study playlists, snacks, chargers for your devices, flexible furniture and friendly Library staff to help keep you focused on your study.
Choose from three sessions to suit your study style:
Individual FFS: Set up your own space and focus alongside other students. Whether you call them your study buddy, body double or academic ally - the individual study space promotes mutual accountability, allowing you to lock into your work.
Group-work FFS: The group-work space is open for groups of 2 or more for their assignment needs. It's the perfect spot to smash out a project.
Pomodoro FFS: Join a facilitated Pomodoro session for focused timed study intervals followed by short breaks to boost your motivation and focus. Spots are limited, book now.
