Visits for School Pupils

The University Library welcomes pupils working on dissertations for Advanced Highers or A-Levels. We have extensive collections of printed books and journals on almost every subject. This service is completely free and available to all schools.

Arranging a visit

Visits must be arranged in advance by a teacher or school librarian - please contact Library Services. Pupils will be issued with library cards which will give them access until the end of the current school year.

School pupils can use the Library during opening hours for reference purposes only and books and journals cannot be borrowed. There are lots of study spaces throughout the building and photocopiers available on Level 2.
