The Library has 16 Study Rooms located on the 6th Floor meant for study and research activities that can be used by every member of FEUP's community.

How to Access this Service

The Study Rooms Reservation Service is available only to the members of FEUP's community, after they have reserved via the SIGARRA's resources reservation system. Its use implies the user's registration as a Library's user.

The Teachers, Researchers, Third Cycle Students and Floor Attendants can make an "Advanced Reservation", which allows them to choose the time frame: single, daily, weekly, monthly.

The Teachers, Researchers, Doctorate Students and Floor Attendants have priority on reservations authorisation over the First and Second Cycle Students.
