MSc in Mathematical Sciences and MMath in Mathematics Handbook (2026-27)

8.2. Computing Facilities

The central IT Services offer facilities, training and advice to members of the University in all aspects of academic computing. You can attend training sessions run by the IT services. More information can be found at https://www.ox.ac.uk/students/life/it. There is also advice on getting started with IT at Oxford at https://www.ox.ac.uk/staff/it/getting-started.

You will not be issued a departmental IT account. However, if you find that you are in need of departmental computing facilities, you are welcome to apply via https://www.maths.ox.ac.uk/members/it/it-facilities-access.

You will be allocated, or will have already been allocated a college email account. It is important that you access your Oxford email account regularly.

Both the Mathematical Institute and the Department of Statistics operate email IT help request systems (it-support@maths.ox.ac.uk and ithelp@stats.ox.ac.uk) as a method of IT support.
