Study places

All study places in the UB City Centre and UB Zernike are freely accessible, with the exception of the UG-only periods. In these weeks surrounding the exam periods you must reserve a study place in the UB City Centre upfront (you need your UG or Hanze student number for this). You do not need to reserve a studyplace at the UB Zernike.

Please note: in UG-only periods the UB City Centre is accessible for students and staff of the University of Groningen only, see: Exam periods: UG-only weeks.
At the UB Zernike the UG-only period does not apply.
