The Department provides six laboratories exclusively for Computer Science students.
Students have free access to the labs except when there is a scheduled practical class in progress.
Our labs are managed by an experienced and dedicated team of technical support staff who can assist students with most practical aspects of the curriculum. You do not need to own a computer to follow our degrees. For those who have a computer, there are network access points in some of the student accommodation, or you can dial in from home via the University's modems. Students can purchase computers through Computing Services. The First Year Lab is the 'home' lab for first-year students.
