Study facilities and support

Brunel is constantly updating its academic facilities with state-of-the-art information and teaching resources.

The Library contains the majority of resources needed to successfully work and study here, while the Computer Centre, Media Services and Technology Enhanced Learning provide facilities to enhance learning and personal development.

For some, adjusting to the independent study expected on a university course can be quite daunting, and all students can make the most of the learning support opportunities available to help develop skills and confidence.

The Library

The Library has benefited from major investment, and now offers: an extensive collection of books, journals and other information; online databases, eBooks and over 16,000 eJournals available through the Library website; 1,200 study spaces and nearly 300 PCs; WiFi capability throughout the building inductions, information skills training and one-to-one support to help you find and use the resources you need.

Each academic School has a Subject Librarian who looks after the information needs of students and staff. They will be happy to answer any questions that you have and help you find the information you need.

The Computer Centre

Everyone at Brunel uses the Computer Centre's services - email, software, Internet access and much more.

Your username allows you access to facilities including: a generous filestore allocation, where you may keep your work securely; an email account for all your University correspondence; Brunel's virtual learning environment; access to the University network from your own computer, including in halls or through a campus wi-fi connection; and the Brunel intranet, which contains course information, support and news.

PC work areas are available across campus, and some are open 24 hours a day.
