For BOKU-students writing their bachelor/diploma/master thesis or dissertation a limited number of carrels is available at the main library. The use of these carrels is free of charge. Aside from lights and power sockets, they are equipped with lockers for storing your utensils.

Attention: The library is not liable for any locked or unlocked objects left in the carrels.

If interested in a carrel please contact ub.support(at)boku.ac.at during the application period.

The application period for carrel use in winter semester 2024 will be announced timely. 

Your application should contain the following information: your name, “Matrikelnummer” and study programme, as well as your supervisor’s name and a short letter of motivation.

In case of more applicants than carrels, the chronological order of the applications will decide.
The terms of use must be accepted.

When collecting the keys please bring along a written note from your supervisor confirming that you are writing a thesis. A valid library card is necessary for renting a carrel!
The carrels are rented out for one semester (four months). Should a carrel not be used regularly, the library reserves the right to withdraw it and offer it to another applicant.
