A learning resource is a material or tool used for learning, teaching and assessing, and research.

Here at the University, there are many physical and digital resources available to support your studies and enhance your learning experience. 

We wanted to share a bit more about our learning resources to ensure that our new and returning students are up to speed on what resources the University has to offer. Check out the top five learning resources below:

There are also specialist collections at Regent Street – art and design, St Asaph – nursing, and Northop – animal science and veterinary nursing.

5. Wi-Fi 

Over the summer the University has invested in upgrading the Wi-Fi network and updating wireless access points across campus to improve the service.  
 
The team has been monitoring the Wi-Fi at the start of term in order to understand service demand and identify any possible further opportunities for improvement. They are also looking at the provision of Wi-Fi in our outdoor spaces such as the Quad, car parks and hockey pitch for spring/summer next year.  
 

If you are having trouble setting up or connecting to Eduroam Wi-Fi whilst on campus, please refer to the login support guides.
