IT provision

Bradford really excels when it comes to IT, with one of the highest ratios of PCs to students in the country and several innovative schemes that enable you to keep the information you want at your fingertips in all sorts of surprising places.

Students with their own laptops and handheld devices can connect to the University network wirelessly from all the Libraries and the foyers and social spaces of all major buildings, so you can go and work in the café while drinking a cappuccino and waiting for your next lecture.

You can access the Library electronic resources and the web. There are also an increasing number of points where laptops can be plugged in and be charged whilst you work.

For anyone with their own PC we can supply free or very cheap software as well as free anti-virus software. You won't be left out if you don't have your own computer as computing facilities are available in most buildings, as well as on all floors in the Library. If you like to work at unusual hours or have a fast-approaching deadline to hit, you will really appreciate the fact that all services and the majority of PC clusters are available 24 hours a day during the week in term times and normally until 9pm at weekends.

Access to the network is also available in most staff rooms, lecture rooms and laboratories.

We are also making changes in order to remain current, and to enable us to provide you with a better, faster IT experience.
