The main door to the Department on the ground and third floor will be open access from 8 am - 6:00 pm. Lifts are available for all floors. Students should not let anyone into the building out of hours. Those who have authorised access will have a card. If you stay in the building until after 7 pm and have forgotten your card you can still exit by pushing the press-to-exit button next to the doors.

There are cycle racks outside the building for your bike, please do NOT bring bicycles into the building. A good lock is a necessity.

The postgraduate access rooms are A0.01 and B2.04. You will need to use your student ID card to enter these rooms. Taught postgrads using A0.01 may print to B0.04 without using the printer credit system.

Desks

PhD students are assigned a workspace (with desk, lockable cupboard and shelving) for their registration period. Workspace availability is limited and there is little scope for changing desks. Please do not move to another desk without consulting the Postgraduate Coordinator. Keys for the cupboards are available from the General Office in return for a deposit of £10 (returnable when you leave). Please keep the area around your desk tidy and safe.

Masters level students should use the library and computing rooms B204 and B138.

Faults

Insurance

The University is not insured for theft of, or damage to, your personal property while you are on University premises so if you bring a personal (i.e. owned by you) laptop with you, you should take out insurance for it. The University is insured for accidental personal injury to staff, students and visitors while they are on University premises, but only where the accident was due to fault on the University’s part. Postgraduate students are not automatically covered by the University's travel insurance. Please check with the Finance and Research Grants Coordinator in advance of travel. Contact the Finance office for an insurance card and a copy of the form (which must be completed and submitted at least two weeks in advance of travel).
