There is a choice in the form of lab, seminar room, PC suite or tiered lecture theatre. There is high demand for seminar rooms so please do select lecture theatre if your session's presentation can be adapted to suit this format.

Most seminar rooms are fitted with data projectors but you may need to provide your own laptop. Please give your full lab requirements in this proposal submission.
