Learning resources
Every campus has
a Learning Resource Centre with libraries, computing equipment,
language centres and audio-visual facilities. They provide all
the materials you need - and the specialist staff will help you
to use them effectively.

University's library collections contain over half a million
books and journals, including:

Some 3,000 current journal
titles

It is a member of UK Libraries
Plus and part of the M25 Consortium of Higher Education
Libraries, which greatly extends the range of resources
available to students.
