Software & Programming
Software and software manuals
During your studies, you’ll need specialised software to support project development.
Your school will make some of these apps available but you can also browse our Software finder to find licensed and free apps with additional support.
The library provides access to manuals for various software apps. Look for these on LibrarySearch or linked to from your reading list.
You can also find lots of tutorials on using these apps in on YouTube:
- MatLab channel for engineers
- MS Visual Studio channel
- Maya learning channel
- Creativity Garage for a complete course on Adobe InDesign
You can also make use of our High Performance Computing services at Kent to support your work.
