University computers are located in Computer Rooms and Libraries. They are available to all registered students and provide access to all of our sytems and services, library resources, a wide range of software, your student email account and the internet. University computers are generally available on a first-come first-served basis, but be aware that some computer rooms are bookable and may be in use for teaching.
