Neurodiverse Study Sessions

We are running a series of study sessions for students who identify as neurodivergent.

Everyone has different needs and preferences when it comes to studying. Lately, the idea of ‘body doubling’, or working quietly with a small group of people around, has taken off – and for good reason. Studying alongside likeminded people offers the accountability and community that solo sessions can’t.

The Library, ELS and RUSU are excited to offer tailored study sessions in a sensory-friendly Library space. While the sessions are specifically designed to support neurodivergent students, everyone is welcome to join us and collaborate with fellow students who share similar goals.

You can drop in at these sessions at any time, and registration is not essential. If you register, you will receive calendar invitations and reminders for each session you select.

What to expect

  • a calm space: enjoy ample room to spread out and focus
  • comfortable lighting: enhance your concentration away from the fluorescents
  • peaceful atmosphere: benefit from a soothing environment
  • Pomodoro Technique: engage in structured study blocks of 25 minutes with regular breaks
  • refreshments and tools: enjoy healthy snacks and access to sensory toys to boost your productivity.

Whether you're writing, reading, researching or organising your studies, our sessions offer the perfect setting to meet your needs. Join us and study with like-minded peers!
