History

The UniShop first opened in 1992, employing over 30 people. The bookshop manager at the time managed over triple the amount of textbooks we have today - stocked from ceiling to floor! Sales in the store operated on primarily a cash basis, with cards having to be manually authorised over the phone - can you imagine lining up for textbooks then!? Luckily times have changed and UniShop now offers a same day express click and collect service and delivery! Simply order online before 10am and skip the queue in store to pick up your books after 2pm.

UniShop continually reviews the range of books and merchandise in store, regularly making changes to best suit the needs of the campus community. Print or digital, UniShop has the textbooks you need in the format you want.
