Additional areas for study and working will be made available within Ghent University.
We will be using as many spaces as possible within the University, thereby expanding capacity so you can be present on campus as much as possible while still respecting the rules for physical distancing.
These have been designated as multifunctional areas, close to places where you can buy food to take away. In these spaces, the following rules apply:
you can study there
you can work in a group
you can take a spot there without reserving it in advance, and you can arrive at any time (e.g. if you have free time between two lessons, or you are waiting for transport to go home after class...)
You are allowed to eat there.
Opening hours: from 8u30 to 17u30.

The Boekentoeren and faculty libraries are open to students. You can go there to look up information, consult collections or enjoy studying in a quiet environment.
Request the book you are looking for in advance via the library website so we can get it ready for you.

Some books, magazines and documents can only be consulted on site. We have two work stations available for this purpose, to ensure you have enough time and space, for example to consult legal documents or to do research for your paper or master's dissertation. There are two types of work station:
Consultation work stations, where you can consult the collections (usually by appointment)
