Putting learning in your hands The University introduced handheld devices into first-year classrooms in 2014, in a bid to connect the young minds with the world of e-knowledge they are growing into, and transform their ability to contribute and compete globally. You will use your handheld device in a multitude of ways: to manage your modules and timetables, review your module learning guides, check your marks, access e-books and other study and administrative requirements. Providing information and engagement, these devices will bring a new and powerful immediacy, collaboration and ease of access to studies. Computer laboratories and Wi-Fi hotspots Various computer laboratories and easy access to our Wi-Fi hotspots give students access to educational software, the World Wide Web and email.
