Printing
Due to our commitment to sustainability, we don’t print lecture notes but these are available digitally.

Students may want to purchase a Molecular Model Kit to help with visualising molecules in Chemistry these cost £20.
Personal laptops are not compulsory as we have computer labs that are open 24 hours a day but you may want to consider one if you wish to work at home. Find out more about IT equipment.
