In the first year it was really useful to have the computer rooms because you could come down at any time and use the machines... ...and there is access in halls, which was really handy. It's great to see the new computers - there are so many here.. Robert May - BSc Business Computing (formerly Computing with Management) |
FACILITIES IN THE DEPARTMENTThe Department of Computing offers a wide variety of up-to-date computing laboratories, hardware and software. Our computers are equipped with all of the modern software you will require for your course. Operating systems include Microsoft Windows XP Professional, Linux and UNIX, so you will have the opportunity to become familiar with many operating systems used in industry.
NETWORKS
The Department has its own network, in conjunction with The School of Informatics, based on powerful SUN/Linux servers accessed by clusters of PC workstations. The network can be accessed from the campus network and beyond.
We are currently in the process of adding 'wireless hotspots' so you will be able to connect to the School of Informatics network using your 'wi-fi' enabled laptop.
