Students and staff

All of us need to print and scan at some point and the University offers a Print Anywhere service that has the advantages of multi-functional devices (MFDs) that allow you to collect your print from any device on any campus. An essential part of using print - as a student - is topping up your printing charge account.

You will may also need access to software to do your work. In addition to the Google Workspace, we have Microsoft Office available on all of our student and staff computers and members of the University can have Office 365 on their personal devices. All of our users also have access to our AppsAnywhere service that can stream hundreds of software applications to university computers and personal devices.

Zoom is the University’s meeting tool of choice for lectures, learning sessions as well as online webinars and events. Just log into Brookes.zoom.us to claim your full licence for Zoom for university activities and for your personal use too.
