Virtual computer rooms
For distance studies, we offer the service Virtual computer rooms. This means that you can connect from your private computer to one of the Windows computers in the computer rooms J117, I102 or H209 and use the software available in the computer room. If all the computers in these computer rooms are occupied, we also offer access to Windows computers in our Virtual computer room. Read more about how to connect below.
