Our Departmental facilities offer undergraduate, postgraduate, research students and staff an excellent environment in which to study and work.

Here at 麻豆視頻_麻豆直播_麻豆传媒官网 we are continually investing in our facilities to ensure students are provided with the best teaching and learning experience. 

The Department is based in the Haslegrave building and boasts excellent facilities including:

  • Five general computer laboratories (180 computers) for the use of our students and support from a team of systems specialists
  • Four specialist lab facilities for student project work on robotics, networking, imaging technology, and cyber security
  • Online access to lecture material and study resources via the University’s Virtual Learning Environment (LEARN) – available from anywhere in the world
  • Study spaces and seminar rooms

Continued investment in resources has seen:

  • The opening of our new robotics lab, featuring advanced robotics equipment including a humanoid robot 'Pepper' and a pair of Aldebaran Robotics NAO robots. The lab is used to conduct cutting edge research into robotic programming using deep learning AI techniques. The lab is equipped with testing facilities designed to explore the future potential for robotics in society. Our newest member of the team 'Pepper' joins our existing complement of robotic equipment which includes a number of quadcoptors, and E-Pucks.
  • The opening of our new 30 seater 'Cyber Range', a specialist cyber security lab representing an investment of over £750,000, designed to support our cyber security modules, and our undergraduate and postgraduate Cyber security programmes.
