The university libraries are valuable resources for studies.
All Oxford students have access to the University's network of libraries, collectively known as The Bodleian Libraries. There are twenty-six libraries across the city, including the central University library, the Bodleian Old Library, located on Catte Street. Whether students need to conduct research, study in a quiet environment, or borrow textbooks, the libraries provide essential support. Students can check their websites for opening hours and available services.
Enhance research skills through workshops and resources provided by the university's Researcher Development and Training program.

Students can visit the Researcher Development website at www.torch.ox.ac.uk/training to find out more, including current opportunities and details of past events.
