Which WiFi network should I use?

Students

We recommend that you use eduroam unless your college advises use of a local WiFi service when in college accommodation.

Staff

We recommend that you use eduroam unless your department or college advises use of a local WiFi service. eduroam is particularly useful for academic staff as you will be able to connect automatically while visiting other UK and EU higher education institutions who also run eduroam.

Visitors

Visitors who are attending conferences or are in Oxford for academic purposes should contact the event organiser or the person you are visiting. You may be eligible to use the Oxford Wireless LAN (OWL) with a visitor network account.

Other visitors, including bed-and-breakfast guests and public visitors to exhibitions, can use Sky WiFi (The Cloud). Sky WiFi is only available in selected locations but provides free internet access for short periods if you are not eligible for any of our member networks.
