To support you in your studies there are a range of PCs and Macs available for use across all campuses.
Whether you want to catch up on some work in between lectures on campus, get a head start on your next assignment or tune in to your latest online session (remembering to use headphones!) then there is a study space for you with the latest technology.
Augustine House is open 7 days a week if you are looking for a computer at the weekend.

Bring your own device - what laptop should I buy
We recommend that you have your own laptop computer as there will be lots of online resources, recorded lectures and activities for you to engage with to support your independent learning, both on and off campus.
Your first step is to discuss any special equipment or software requirements with your course team to ensure you have what you need from the start.
- For most courses, a Windows laptop is recommended with an Intel i5 processor and 8GB RAM. A minimum of 256GB SSD (solid-state disc) is also recommended.
- While attractive, we do not recommend Google Chromebooks for university study because they are designed as 'lighter' devices, better suited for informal browsing (streaming, social media, etc.).
- For Creative Arts courses (e.g. Music or Media-related courses), an Apple MacBook may be more appropriate.
- If you are studying computing or engineering subjects, you may wish to consider a higher specification laptop to support your studies, for example, an i7 processor with 16GB Ram.
Make sure your device has the latest system updates, anti-virus protection, and is protected with a password or PIN code.
If you are in financial hardship and worried about accessing essential IT equipment to support your studies, please contact our Student Support Advisers for advice on studentsupport@canterbury.ac.uk
