Wi-Fi on campus
Students and staff can gain access to the university network from their own personal computers using wireless networking at all London campuses. This access is secured and restricted to members of university. You may also access the campus Wi-Fi on some mobile devices including iPhone.
Internet in your hall of residence
All rooms in halls of residence are provided with high speed internet services, offering unmetered access via an ethernet port located in your bedroom. This is a shared broadband service and is sized to allow fair and reasonable access speeds. The bandwidth is sized as a minimum to give a contention ratio similar to the BT Residential Broadband Service (50:1).
