The 21st century is a time of rapid change, increasing complexity and new opportunities.

Computers are one of the main forces driving this change. Rapidly advancing computer technology allows us to do things that we've never been able to do before, or to do things in a fraction of the time that we used to.

These forces of change are having a huge impact on the way we live, the way we work, and the way we learn.

Most of the University's administration systems are web-based and these allow you to manage your enrolment, class timetable, library loans etc. on-line. Accordingly it is a University expectation that you will have private access to a computer and the internet. However, it is also appreciated that not all students can afford to purchase their own computer. Computer facilities are available on campus, and if you are an external student living in a remote area, you should make every effort to plan for regular access to the internet.
