What equipment do students need for their studies?

  • All students will need at least one device (a smartphone, tablet or laptop / desktop PC) to approve security requests via Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). MFA is required when accessing services such as Microsoft 365 and Windows Virtual Desktop. Our recommendation would be to use a smartphone that is compatible with the Microsoft Authenticator App.
  • To support your studies, the university recommends you have a suitable laptop to work on when on or off campus. 
  • Other equipment such as a keyboard, mouse, webcam or external screens aren't essential but could help improve your comfort while studying.
  • Some schools and departments might suggest different device specifications or recommend using additional equipment relevant to your course.
