Software and Computer labs

To help find the labs and software you need, we have the Computer & Software Availability system with built-in campus maps.

As a Student you can download specialist software via the 'Software Downloads' module on LEARN – you will need to self-enrol to gain access to the software.

To keep our Windows lab computers running smoothly and securely, they’re automatically restarted every morning at 6:00 AM. This daily reboot helps clear out old user profiles (older than seven days) and makes sure any software updates or installations finish properly. In labs with dual-boot systems, a second reboot happens at 7:00 AM to set the default operating system for the day - so everything’s ready and consistent when you log in.

Computer labs are managed by IT Services, and there are several that can be accessed 24 hours a day, seven days a week. These are accessible to all students.

School-managed labs have restricted access and are only available to those who belong to the specific school/department.

Locations of computer labs offering 24/7 access are listed below. 

The Teaching Support Team is responsible for the audio visual equipment in all centrally bookable rooms and spaces. Information about pool space; including building locations, photographs, equipment and features is available to view using the link below
