Additional labs provide high performance workstations reserved for project work. You will also have access to other extensive facilities provided centrally by the University. These include Sparc and PC labs, file servers and printers. All our computers are connected by means of an ethernet network, which in turn interconnects with the rest of the University and provides direct connections to Janet - the national academic network and the worldwide Internet. Some of our dedicated computing laboratories are open to our students 24 hours a day.
Assessment is by a combination of written exams, project and coursework.
