The Internet and Network Connection service enable students, colleagues and guests to connect to the internet and access resources on the University’s network. 

Network Transformation Project (NTP)

The Network Transformation Project is programme of work that will deliver several significant security upgrades over a large multi-year delivery that will replace all network infrastructure across all University estates.

Due to the existing network infrastructure reaching the end of its supportable life, there is a need to replace all wired and wireless networking infrastructure across central campus, satellite sites, NUMed and NewRIIS. This is a University-wide project and will eventually impact everyone at the organisation at some point or other as the work moves from building to building.

This is the single biggest investment in IT infrastructure the University has ever made. The new network will deliver significant service improvements including increased Wi-Fi availability across campus, secure environments for our researchers and the ability to isolate and shut-down any future cyber-attacks more quickly and effectively.

How this affects you

As the project progresses and more buildings are transformed, you may notice different Wi-Fi network names depending on which building you are in during the transition period.

​If you are in a transformed building, you will notice updated connection options for staff, students and visitors.

The following buildings have now been transformed:
