Study areas

Different types of study areas are available throughout the VU campus. Check PLEQ for the most up-to-date information.

For each university building PLEQ shows which areas are available for studying. For some rooms it is indicated  how busy they are.

Scattered around the university buildings, the VU campus offers different types of study places, where you can study independently or together with other students. You can use silent study rooms, project group rooms and places in the public space. There are also computer places on campus. You can also study in classrooms when there are no lectures or other (educational) activities. You can find out whether education is planned via the timetable website.

Studying in the University Library

The University Library has a suitable study place for you, both concentration spots and inspiration places. A real-time overview of available spots in the Library can be found via the button on this page. ☝

Study areas for online lectures

In case you have an online lecture before or after a physical lecture on campus there are additional study areas to join the online lecture. Extra study facilities are available for this purpose in the W&N building, both silent and interactive areas. These places are not intended for regular study activities. Check the locations below.
