SPSS 30 and Amos 30 is now available for staff and students. To ensure uninterrupted access, users currently on SPSS or Amos version 29 or earlier should upgrade to version 30 by 31 July 2025. The new installer and installation guide can be found here.

For the fair use of university resources, the guidelines on the booking and use of sound booths managed by OCIO are updated. With immediate effect, each user is limited to two booking sessions of one hour each per day. This change is designed to maximise availability and allow more members of our community the opportunity to benefit from the facility.
