Our modern Learning Centre provides a dynamic yet pleasant, quiet and supportive environment where students can develop their independent learning skills. Students can word process their coursework or their assignments, use the latest software packages and state-of-the-art equipment, browse through a newspaper or a magazine, borrow from our stock of nearly 20,000 books and use our ‘virtual library’ including ebooks and journals. You may borrow DVDs, browse our reference material or use one of the 70 computers with printing facilities and Internet access.
