Computing services

Oxford University Computing Services (OUCS) provides a wide range of IT services, including practical IT courses that cover specialised use of computers, common operating systems and popular application software.

OUCS runs Weblearn, the central VLE, where you can find course material and other tools for learning. To view the publicly available content (some is available only to specific students) please visit the Weblearn site.

The OUCS Help Centre has a number of public PCs and Macs with a range of popular software, and scanning and printing facilities. They provide general support and advice by email, telephone and in person if your local IT support cannot help. Other facilities include audio and video capture, a PC breakdown service to repair or replace your PC, poster printing, mailing list software and free or low cost software from the online shop at the OUCS website.

Colleges and departments have IT support staff you can ask for help and advice. They can also refer you to OUCS who may be able to help with more complex problems.
