Study spaces
Whether you need a collaborative working space, access to a computer or a place to plug in your laptop, we have spaces all over our campuses for you to study.
Opening hours
University of Sydney campus and libraries are open for students and staff.
Find out the latest on locations and opening hours on the Library website.
All computers managed by ICT in our study spaces are virtual desktops. They provide access to standard software, as well as course-specific applications. You can customise your virtual desktop so that bookmarks, applications and downloads are available on any of our computers when you log in.
At the end of each study session, remember to keep a backup of your work by emailing it to yourself, saving it to an external USB or to OneDrive.
Libraries
Library locations have reopened to University of Sydney staff and students with a valid staff or student ID card. For the most up-to-date information on access, please see the Library’s COVID-19 library updates and support page.
