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.
Please note opening times may vary during holidays and our campuses will be closed on Bank Holidays.
Augustine House is open 7 days a week if you are looking for a computer at the weekend.

What laptop should I buy?
We recommend that you own a laptop to support your learning. Here are our recommended basic specifications for most courses:
- A Windows 11 laptop with an Intel i5 processor, 16GB RAM and 256GB SSD (solid-state disc).
- We do not recommend Google Chromebooks for University study as these are better suited for informal browsing (streaming, social media, etc.).
If you are on a tech-heavy course (e.g. Creative Arts, Computing, Engineering) contact your Course Team for their advice on the most suitable device.
Make sure your personal anti-virus software is up-to-date. Regularly update the antivirus and the operating system on your own PCs and mobile devices. The University provides free Sophos anti-virus for home use by students.
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
