Study facilities

Libraries and special collections

The new University Library opened in September 2011. The Library boasts of seven floors and over 1200 study spaces within the uniquely constructed building. For further information, please visit http://www.abdn.ac.uk/library/about/main/.

With around 180,000 printed volumes, from the 1460s to the late-twentieth century, and more than 4,000 collections of manuscripts and archives, from antiquity to the modern day, Special Libraries and Archives provides a set of resources of outstanding importance to religious scholarship and research. Fine collections of medieval and early modern theological manuscripts sit alongside editions of Calvin, Beza, Knox and Zanchius, and aspects of Catholicism, Presbyterianism, Episcopalianism, and Judaism are particularly well represented. For further information, or to search the collections, see the Historic Collections website at http://www.abdn.ac.uk/historic/

Research study rooms

Full-time research students can normally be allocated a desk  in a shared study-room with use of a PC and web access and shelves for books in current use.

Computers on campus and laptop use

There are computer rooms all over the campus and many computers in the Library.  Postgraduates register with Computing Services to obtain a username and can then use computers on campus. For reasons of security, connection of laptops to the university network is strongly discouraged and will be accepted only if there is a valid business reason for requiring such a connection (e.g. in the case of a research student who does not have access to a suitable university-owned PC)
