Computer and IT Facilities
UCL offers a wide range of IT facilities in open-access cluster rooms and student residences. These provide over 150 general and specialist software packages. Many departments also have their own student computer facilities and computer network points are available in individual rooms from most UCL residences.
UCL's wireless network (RoamNet) provides secure web and email access in many locations across UCL, including UCL's picturesque quadrangle – why not make the most of the sunshine and work outdoors?
IT training is provided through scheduled sessions or online courses.
