Ilam

UBS is open to all at our Ilam campus shop for both general and text requirements.  The huge 900 square metre space has an extensive range on every subject from children's books to beautiful art books and every genre in between.

We take pride in our special order service, sourcing those hard to find books, and are specialists in this area.

Our experienced and knowledgeable staff are dedicated and well read booksellers with many years of experience within the book trade.

We regularly contact our customers with up-to-date information regarding our many book events.

A varied selection of stationery, magazines and greeting cards are in stock.

Many loyal customers from outside the university campus enjoy shopping in a non-mall atmosphere, surrounded by trees in a park-like setting. 

There is car parking situated behind the bookshop and the Metro and Orbiter buses stop close by.

All text book prices include student discount.

Hospital Branch

Sadly, this store is still closed due to damage to the building during the February 22nd earthquake.

We can however fulfill all of your needs through our Ilam branch at the present time.

We look forward to seeing you soon.
