Dear Postgraduate Students

Welcome to the Groenkloof Research Commons. The purpose of the research commons is to provide postgraduate students with a designated space to immerse themselves in their writing and research whilst also providing accessible help when needed by appointed staff members.

This guide is designed to assist postgraduate students by providing research resources, tips, and tools. The guide also offers direct access to booking facilities in the GK research commons that are currently available. 

Please see our booking system and hours tab and our facilities tab for more information.
