Student facilities

Access to computers is provided in the Davis Law Library in student study spaces:

The Davis Law Library Computer Lab is a training facility for all students.

The Upper Chamber, on the mezzanine floor, is a multi-function computing area comprising 30 networked computers and printers.

The Disability Resource Room provides electronic access to computers for students with visual disabilities. 

There is a study space available for students on level four of Building 810 - 1-11 Short Street. It’s open from 8am to 6pm, (Mon - Fri), and includes a full kitchen.

The parenting room which is opposite the Northey Lecture Theatre, next to the sick bay is available to all Law staff and students who are parents of children under the age of two. This is a quiet and private space so parents can feed, breastfeed or express milk for their children. This space also contains a nappy changing station, nappy disposal unit, cot, small fridge, microwave and kitchen sink – along with a soft light for sleeping. The room is unlocked 24/7 Monday to Friday but can be locked from inside to ensure privacy (if required).

As a law student you can access special rooms where you can study quietly. There are even private rooms for Postgraduate and PhD students wishing to study alone or in project groups. 

If you are studying Law, particularly as a postgraduate or PhD student, you’ll find work rooms set up specifically for this purpose. These require a key and/or access card. You can book these rooms or just hope one is available when you need it. 

There is also a large room available for all Law students, not only those at postgraduate or PhD levels. It can be accessed without a key and access card.
