:: Why do I need a Virtual Private Network (VPN)? ::

You need a VPN if you want to access the University computer network and your computer is not plugged into a University network socket. For example you may need to use it if you:
  • Work from home
  • Travel on University business
  • Use the campus wireless network
  • Work on a remote site or NHS facility etc.

Resources on the University network

  • Library catalogue
  • University staff and student intranets
  • P drives - not using the web interface
  • Applications within Faculties and Schools that are restricted to IP addresses on campus
