Using your own laptop:

We have a vast network across all of our campuses, the wireless network covers all of the South Kensington campus and most of those at the medical sites.  Connecting to the wireless network is a quick and easy way to use your own laptop.

Using College computers:

If you want to use a College desktop computer, there are plenty available across the campus.  The Central Library at South Kensington has plenty of ‘Public Cluster PCs’ where anyone with an Imperial College username can logon and make use of.  All of these computers have the standard, commonly used software and printing facilities already installed.

You will also find many Public PCs in your department where you’ll find software and applications installed that are tailored to your department.  The exact services available vary from department to department – for more details you should contact your tutor.
