Let’s face it, exams can be stressful, but they don’t have to be. Set yourself up for success by finding a study environment that works for you.
Study space options
Griffith Library offers a variety of study spaces to suit different needs:
- Silent study: Completely noise-free zones for deep concentration.
- Quiet study: Areas with minimal noise for focused work.
- Social study: Spaces designed for collaborative work and group discussions.
- 24/7 study: Secure after-hours access available at Nathan and Gold Coast campuses.
- Sensory-friendly study: Distraction-free environments at Nathan Library and Queensland College of Art and Design Library.
Choosing the right environment
Think about what environment will work best for you. Some learners perform better with gentle background noise or instrumental music, while others find that silence enhances their ability to concentrate deeply and memorise information.
Access after-hours study spaces
Any Griffith student can apply for after-hours access to our 24/7 study spaces at Nathan and Gold Coast campuses. Complete a 24/7 Study Safe building access request. Once your request is processed, you will receive an email with further instructions.
Book a group study space
Studying in a group can be a useful way to prepare for exams. To make the most of your group study sessions:
- limit distractions
- set clear goals
- ensure everyone has a chance to participate.
Book a group study space ahead of time to avoid disappointment.
