Faculty recording studio
Staff and students from the Faculties of Arts and Philosophy and Political and Social Sciences are welcome to use our recording studio.
The faculty recording studio is located in the Magnel wing of the faculty library. It is primarily set up as a podcast and audio studio. However, it can also be configured for purposes such as video pitches.
Researchers and lecturers may use the space and borrow equipment for research and teaching purposes. Students from the Faculties of Arts and Philosophy and Political and Social Sciences may also book the studio or borrow specific items for coursework.
