Do I need to buy a computer for my studies?

It is recommended that all students have their own computer, however the faculty has computer labs on all campuses for student use, some with 24 hour access.  GSIT maintain 3 computing labs for enrolled students with an additional specialised lab for 3rd year projects and postgraduates.  View recommended hardware.
