Working from Home

Did you know, the majority of the University's online services can be accessed without being connected to the Virtual Desktop Service or Virtual Private Network.

It is recommended that you connect to services directly where possible to avoid performance or access issues.

This PDF explains what to use to access online services off campus.

We are committed to delivering and supporting high quality IT and Library systems and services, accessible anytime, anywhere to enable you to achieve your learning, teaching, research or business-related objectives.

We place innovation, collaboration and customer experience at the forefront of what we do, aiming to create a well-supported and secure environment in which our University can operate.

We achieved re-accreditation of the CSE Standard as a single department in December 2019, and retained our Cyber Essentials Plus certification after undergoing assessment in March 2020.

In 2019 we were shortlisted in the Outstanding Support for Students category of the THE Awards for our work on making the exam results less stressful for students.
