VPN and remote access

VPN (GlobalProtect)

Our VPN (Virtual Private Network) lets you connect your device to the University network when you are working remotely.

You can connect to the VPN using software called GlobalProtect.

If you are using a University laptop then GlobalProtect is already installed and configured, so you can get connected straight away.

If you are using a personal device or if your University laptop does not have GlobalProtect already installed, see our setup instructions for your device:

Remote Desktop

Use Remote Desktop to remotely access your staff computer on campus or virtual desktop service.
