Southampton University Prospectus - Computing Services University of Southampton Prospectus Computing Services Computers and computer networking are now an integral part of work in the University and Computing Services provides a range of public facilities that all members of the University may use.
Students are particularly keen to get started on our clusters of PC workstations.
These are provided on all major campuses of the University and in most halls of residence. The PCs give access to a wide range of local computer applications, such as word processing, spreadsheet and database software, programming languages, and discipline-related activities like computer aided design and foreign language word processors. These are supported with laser printers and scanners to assist in the presentation of documents. These are further supported by specialist, high performance computer systems accessible through the University data network. Access to Computing Services is also possible from home via the dial-up service.
