How to apply

You will also need an academic school authorisation form (pdf) completed by your supervisor or tutor. Both forms only need to be completed once in each academic year.

Two postgraduates can jointly rent a carrel on a monthly or quarterly basis but must not use the carrel at the same time. For a joint rental, each applicant must submit all required forms.

To renew a carrel rental, you must pay the cost of the next rental period within the last week of the current period.

You can arrange a break in rental for a period of weeks - ask at the Welcome Desk for more information.

Daily rental: ask at the Welcome Desk for availability; daily carrels are allocated on a first come, first served basis.
