Software available at the DP desk

Please bring along blank CD-Rs or DVD-Rs for us to burn to. Although we can burn to rewritables it generally takes much longer.

Please make sure they really are empty. :)

Some extra CDs are available for students studying particular subjects. Your lecturer should inform you if specific software is available for your course.

Note that we only provide software which has a licence allowing us to distribute it for free. We do not provide commercial software such as Photoshop or Visual Studio.
