Keep The Library Open 24/7

This year, 24/7 access to study spaces was removed, leaving many students without a quiet or suitable place to study—especially at night. For those with shared housing, work schedules, or who focus best in the evening, this change has made it harder to succeed.

We’re asking the university to reinstate 24/7 access to at least some study areas, or work with students to find a fair compromise that meets our needs.

Students deserve flexible access to study spaces. Please sign and share if you agree.

    So many of my university friends loved the fact the library was open 24/7 especially during exam season. A lot of students don’t have the facilities at home to study or have other commitments before 11pm. The library not be 24hrs ends up neglecting these students.

    The library not being 24 hours during exam season is extremely damaging as a lot of students rely on this, especially balancing different work hours, placement and home life. It’s been an essential part of my past 3 years at university

    It is difficult to do all the study during the day due to work and other obligations, at night is sometimes the only free time that we have.

    MDx consistently ranks among the top institutions in the UK for student satisfaction, often receiving awards for its outstanding performance in this area. A key factor contributing to this high level of satisfaction is the 24/7 access to the library. Removing this access could significantly impact the overall student experience.
