Accessing Library Resources

You will use your Arden Office 365 login credentials to access the resources available through the Library. Your Arden Office 365 details along with details on how to recover your password have been supplied in an email when you registered for your programme of study. If you have not received this email or require assistance with your Office 365 credentials, please contact help@arden.ac.uk and a member of the IT team will be happy to assist. 

You will also need to set up multi-factor authentication to access Office 365 services. If you haven’t set this up yet, there are some instructions on how to do this here. You can get in touch with the IT Support team help@arden.ac.uk if you need some help setting up multi-factor authentication

English Language Hub

Getting Started

If English is not your first language then we are here to help! We recognise that studying in a second language can be challenging and so this dedicated team of patient, kind, and friendly English language Lecturers will guide and support you with the academic English skills you will need for university-level study. We currently offer mini modules, one-to one appointments, workshops and self-study resources.
