Your computer/mobile device

If you are bringing your own PC, Mac or mobile device to University you might want to take advantage of some of the services we offer. 

Connect your computer to the University network

If you are on Campus and have a University user account it is free to connect to the internet. All you need to do is follow the instructions on the Networking section of this website.

If you are not on campus, you can still connect to the network using a Virtual Private Network (VPN).

You must use an anti-virus program at all times if you are connected to the University network. You can download Sophos Anti-virus free of charge.
