Study Safely

From 18 April there will be no requirement to wear face coverings in public places in Scotland, this includes our Libraries and study spaces. 

We do encourage staff and students to wear face coverings at particularly busy times, and we ask everyone to be sensitive to the needs of others who prefer to continue wearing face coverings.

We ask that all visitors to our Libraries and study spaces continue to be considerate of others:

  • Give others space and avoid crowding
  • Use sanitising stations and clean your hands regularly
