Students are invited to use a tablet/laptop as part of their studies at College. You should think of this as another tool in your pencil case which will complement handwritten work and provide access to countless digital resources to support your studies.
If you already have a suitable device at home, we encourage you to bring it into College with you.
If you are purchasing a new device, please ensure that you have noted the required specifications below. Please note however, there is no requirement to purchase a new device.

Your device battery needs to last at least six hours.
We strongly recommend you bring a device with touchscreen and stylus support for digital note taking and more. However, if you have an otherwise fully functional device without a touch screen, please don't rush out and buy a new one!
Please bring wired or wireless headphones/earbuds with you every day to College. It is also recommended you have a webcam/microphone built in to your device (almost all devices do).
