Students should bring their own snacks or lunch, if and when necessary.

If a student requires a laptop for a class for which we normally do not provide a laptop, please make sure this is clearly stated in the registration form.

Other specialist equipment is normally provided although we may recommend that a student invest in their own devices or tech equipment of they should wish to continue developing their projects after the course has finished. More information is available upon request.
