At UCT, lectures, seminars, tutorials and laboratory classes form part of the academic programme. In all of these settings, students work and learn together. The most formal of these is the lecture, which may be attended by several hundred students, while tutorials offer contact between small groups of students and a tutor. However, being at university is primarily about learning to work by yourself and for yourself. In this section we describe some of the resources that are available at UCT to help you succeed.
Computing Facilities
UCT provides an extensive network of computer workstations for use by students. All students are allocated a personal email address, and have access to the University’s computer network as soon as they register.
Software applications available on campus range from basic word-processing to advanced statistical and design packages.
In addition to the extensive network of computers available to all students in UCT’s Library, Student Learning Centres and faculty computer laboratories, several departments have their own facilities with specialised software to support teaching and learning in their degree programmes. UCT Libraries UCT’s main library, the Chancellor Oppenheimer Library, and its nine branch libraries, offer a rich and diverse array of study and research materials, as well as expert assistance in finding information and carrying out research.
In keeping with its central role in the academic life of the University, the Chancellor Oppenheimer Library lies at the heart of the Upper Campus, while the branch libraries are spread across UCT’s various campuses, close to the academicdepartments they serve. The Libraries’ collections includeover 1,2 million volumes and more than 91,000 journal titles, of which over 63,000 are e-journals.
The modern design of the main library draws on the very best models of university libraries world-wide, offering spacious reading areas, numerous computer workstations, AV viewing areas, group project rooms, wireless internet access for laptops, and ample photocopying, printing, and scanning facilities. A team of subject specialist librarians is available to assist students, while the Knowledge Commons, our fullyequipped
