Study Spaces

We have a mix of single and group study spaces at Cyncoed and Llandaff Learning Centres to suit different studying styles and preferences.

Booking Rules

You can book a maximum of 2 x 2-hour bookings per day.

You are allowed to renew bookings up to 15 minutes before the end of the booking if the room isn't booked by another person.

You can book up to 4 weeks in advance.

These rooms are open for students to use as long as no-one else is in there. However, we recommend booking beforehand to guarantee your use of the room.

Please remember to cancel your booking if you no longer need the room.  Should you be over 30 minutes late for your booking, your reservation will be cancelled by L&IS staff so other students can use the room.

Note: Bookable study rooms are accessible during staffed opening hours only.

How to Book

Study rooms can be​ booked through Cardiff Met's Connect2 system, as well as allowing you to check room availability and manage any upcoming booking. You can access this system by signing into your account with your student ID and password at connect2.
