School of Maths Facilities

SMS provides a shared PGT PC Lab (room W307 on the third floor of the Queen's Building) for MSc and MSci students, with computer facilities for project work, writing dissertations, online research and online access to the library catalogue, e- journals and e-books. There are also laser printers. Please note that this is a ‘quiet’ room for individual study / PC Labs, and is not a social space, so students are asked to respect this at all times.

Fair Usage of the Maths PGT Pc Lab (W307)

Use of W307 is limited only to MSc and MSci students in the School of Maths.  No other students or guests are permitted into this room.  No food, drink, alcohol or prohibited items may be taken into this room and no disturbance may be caused to other students.  Any student found in breach of this fair use policy will be subject to a disciplinary procedure which may lead to withdrawal of rights and even expulsion from the course / college.

Print Usage in W307

PGT students have a greater requirement to print materials for their individual modules and for their project modules, therefore each PGT student may print up £25 per semester (total of £75 per year per student). Please note that printing that exceeds this limit will be charged to you at the following costs:  A4 - 3p black and white, 12p colour / A3 - 6p black and white, 24p colour. Printing will be monitored and should be used for your own study only.
