School of Computing Computer Requirements

Wherever possible we encourage students to use the software and facilities currently provided in the School. Whilst students are welcome to develop software on their home machines, they WILL have to demonstrate it to their supervisor and assessor within the School. The issue of availability of facilities and the behaviour of software on school machines MUST be addressed at the outset. For instance, our security arrangements may prohibit the execution of programs and this will not be compromised to accommodate a demonstration. Students and supervisors should discuss computer requirements.

Requirements for software and tools which are not currently provided by the School have to have a technical justification and sensible requests will be considered. Requests for such software and tools should be made by the supervisor e-mailing support@comp.leeds.ac.uk If you are doing a background research phase this email should include a statement of what software you will be considering and give an estimated date by which you will have decided what you would prefer to use. Provide as much information about the request as possible e.g., operating system to work on, version to install, accessibility needs...

The School does not guarantee to honour requests for additional facilities.
