UoC Active

UoC Active has been developed in response to the Government's strategy for an 'Active Nation'. Our mission is to develop a healthy university for our students, staff and local communities.

UoC Active is all about making sport and exercise as inclusive as possible. It encompasses all of the sporting opportunities here at the University of Cumbria, including our Students' Union sports clubs, facilities, continuing professional development courses, and community activities.

IT Facilities

Whether it’s writing essays or accessing electronic journals, you’ll make extensive use of digital technology. It only takes one username and password to access all the electronic resources you need.

Access anywhere

Our aim is to ensure all our students can access university electronic resources from anywhere or any device: whether on campus or off. Hence, our core resources and systems provided over the Web – and many on apps too.  This covers electronic books and journals, online learning, support, email, videoconferencing, instant messaging and file storage.  Read on to find out more.

Connecting your own device

We encourage you to bring your own device (or “BYOD” as it’s commonly called) to our campuses and halls. To assist this, we provide wireless coverage for more than 80% of the buildings. This coverage is continuing to grow year on year and includes the installation of higher capacity wireless to allow more users/more students to connect in high demand areas.

The university is also part of theEduroam network which allows you to connect your phone, tablet or laptop on all our campuses. If you’re travelling to another University or Eduroam participating organisation, you’ll be able to connect there too.
