YES you do, if you want to study for university credit e.g. MSc, Diploma, Certificate, or Personal Professional Development (PgProfDev / PPD)

Computing requirements
Our online programmes and courses require you to access materials, discussion boards, references, activities and other online learning tools, via the internet.
You are responsible for your own technical set-up. We expect you to take responsibility for your access to the programme, make back-ups of your work, and to organise alternate access if required.
You are not expected to be a technical whizz. We provide guidance and training for the tools we use.
The University’s IS department do provide distance learning support; and also on weekdays the Edinburgh Imaging Academy office can also offer advice.

- NO you do not, if you are studying with us for credit, as a fully matriculated student of the University of Edinburgh
