Laptop
In some degree programmes it is mandatory to use your own laptop. Depending on your degree programme you will need a laptop with specific hardware requirements, so that the software you will use during your studies runs efficiently. Check here if your degree programme has specific computer requirements.
Do you have a laptop? Great! You don’t necessarily need to buy a new one, but make sure to check in advance if your laptop complies with the specific hardware requirements of your degree programme. You will find this info in the link above.
What should my laptop be able to do? If your computer is working well at the moment during video conferences (Skype, Microsoft Teams, Zoom…), you will probably be able to join correctly during online classes.
