You will need to make sure that you effectively have regular access to the Internet as this will help you to benefit from the resources available at the University of Leicester. The University's online environment will then be available to you, at any time, from anywhere to suit your busy lifestyle.

Online you will be able to contact your lecturers and tutors and your fellow students and you will be able to access:

  • departmental web sites, resources and informational services
  • resources from the e-library
  • information about future course choice
  • the Student Union services
  • study support and welfare services

Your regular connection to the Internet can be by dial up or broadband access from your home, workplace or through a learning centre or Internet cafe. If you are travelling on business or privately, you will be able to connect with Leicester Online from anywhere with internet access and through any networked computer, simply by knowing your user name and password, which will be provided to you at the start of your programme. We suggest you aim to log on at least once a week during your studies to benefit the most.

Some programmes will require more frequent access, and a few may suggest that you will benefit from using broadband, so please check with the relevant department if you have any concerns.
