Student life
Southlea is a place to learn, build and connect. Students study in modern teaching spaces and laboratories, work together on venture and design projects, and meet peers across both faculties.
Project teams, presentations and venture competitions bring business and engineering students together, reflecting the way technology enterprises work in practice.
Library and e-resources
The University Library, working with the ICT Department, provides continuous, authenticated access to global e-resource databases, digital journals, e-books, industry research platforms, market intelligence databases and international standards repositories.
