We want to ensure you get the best possible teaching experience, wherever you are in the world. The move to hybrid teaching might mean you have questions on the type of technology you'll need for study.

Guidance on recommended technology is available on the College of Humanities and Social Sciences website:

Study spaces at Chrystal Macmillan Building

Due to the current physical distancing and safety measures, there will be no study space or social space available in CMB during the 2020/21 academic year.

Furthermore, the Micro Lab will only be available remotely to students enrolled on courses that require the specific software available there.
