You will need a computer to access digital learning resources, our intranet and more options on campus.

As a Les Roches student, you will be given access to our intranet website, which contains student information, including supporting and teaching documents and other learning resources. You can bring your own computer from home, as long as it meets our specifications. On some campuses, there is also the option to buy a laptop when you arrive on campus.
