Computer labs for students

The labs provide a convenient access to reliable computing resources and common software applications. They offer access to applications required in certain areas of study or packages that you might need occasionally but not often enough to justify their purchase. The labs also offer spaces to work in groups.

What to expect

The Faculty of Science maintains - for its students, - about 100 computers. These machines run applications, such as the Microsoft and Matlab. Students also benefit from the use of very specialized applications such as SPSS, ChemDraw, Maple, ArcGIS to name a few.
