Students are free to use any of the library facilities located across the campus. The Faculty of Medical Sciences is served by The Walton Library located on the 5th floor of the Catherine Cookson Building. Facilities include:

  • single and group study spaces
  • computers and laptops
  • print and scan
  • library resource click and collect
  • device charging

Most psychology journal articles are available online through the electronic journals system. You should get used to using this as soon as possible. It is the quickest way of accessing articles to read.
