IT Helpdesk

The IT Helpdesk is the first point of contact for any IT related issue or query. We provide 1st line support and general IT advice for both students and staff across the University.

We aim to resolve your query as quickly as possible by either remotely connecting to your machine to fix the issue, providing you with the relevant information needed or escalating the call to one of our IT Advisors who will visit you directly.​

All calls are managed within our Service Desk system ​and will be prioritised according to the nature of the issue.

IT Security

The objectives of IT Security at Cardiff Met are to maintain availability of IT services, to safeguard the confidentiality and integrity of information resources and to ensure that computer usage complies with relevant legislation.

An important part of this is related to the measures put in place by Library and Information Services to protect information resources. Many of these occur in background so you may not be aware that that they are happening.
