The University has deployed a Windows Virtual Desktop (WVD) environment to allow specialist teaching applications to be made available to the University community for use off campus and from a wide range of devices. These can be accessed using a web brower at:

or you can get better performance by downloading the Remote Desktop Client from:

Currently (2021-22) there are two WVDs available: "Express '21" with Office and Project and "Student '21" which has most of the software available in the centrally managed labs including

  • SolidWorks 2021
  • Rhino 6
  • DFMA
  • EDGECAM 2020.0
  • Granta (formerly CES) EduPack 2021
