Access to Software

BTH students have access to a wide range of software, partly via shared computer rooms and other student computers, and partly through campus agreements with software suppliers like Microsoft, IBM and Autodesk.

On student computers

The range of software on BTH student computers is determined by the teaching staff’s requirements. The range is updated on a regular basis at the course directors’ request.
