Self-Study Spaces

The Campus St. Pölten has self-study spaces for students in both buildings and on all floors.

Students can use them to

• study in small group settings,
• work on projects (either alone or with others),
• share experiences,
• or just talk.

At the same time, these spaces are well-suited for uncomplicated and low-threshold exchange between students and lecturers.

For this reason, we made a conscious effort to provide them with different furniture styles – and there is a generous number of power sockets, especially in building B.

The writable (pin)boards are here to be used.

The self-study spaces labelled “Communicative Study Zone” and “Silent Study Zone” (building B, 1st floor) are equipped with writable boards and pinboards.

To put these spaces to the best possible use, students can borrow “student boxes” and presentation kits specifically put together for this purpose from the CSC as of January 2023 by providing their student ID number.

These sets include, e.g., whiteboard pens and sponge, pins, magnets, presentation cards, scissors, tape, and glue.
