Students have access to computers in the local library, which contain the complete collection of software offered by the university. Furthermore, we offer extensive IT support through the Centre for Information Technology (CIT). The IT support offered by the CIT spans from basic troubleshooting and installation procedures, through IT facilities, to IT support for research activities.
Healthcare is off campus, but we did make agreements with medical organisations to help our students in need. You always need to be registered before you can make an appointment and you probably need to visit in person for an intake. International students need to pay for consultations in cash, you will receive a receipt to use for claiming these costs at your health insurance company.
