University College London (UCL) has implemented Citrix's XenDesktop cloud-based virtualisation software to power a secure workspace its students and staff can use to access the apps and devices. We recommend using Citrix Workspace as it provides the most reliable and full-featured experience for Desktop @ UCL Anywhere users. Alternatively you can access a 'light' version of Desktop @ UCL Anywhere via just your web browser.
Desktop@UCL Anywhere is a service that allows remote access to UCL resources for staff and students. All you need is a valid UCL user ID and password, an internet connection and supported web browser.
Important notice – please read
Most software that is available on staff and cluster room devices is available on Desktop@UCL Anywhere. For more details see UCL's Software Database.
Please note: It is not possible for a user to install software into the environment by themselves.
If the application you desire is not available within Desktop@UCL Anywhere, please raise a service request with IT Services by calling 020 7679 5000 (internal: 25000)
Due to a compatibility issue Microsoft Office applications cannot be launched from the APPS tab and have been temporarily removed. Microsoft are investigating the issue. As soon as a fix has been found we plan to make the Microsoft Office applications available again.
Please note: Microsoft Office applications are still available from Desktop@UCL Anywhere's DESKTOP.
Access Desktop@UCL Anywhere
For the best Desktop @ UCL Anywhere experience we recommend downloading and installing Citrix Workspace (formerly Citrix Receiver) before you log in.
Can't install Citrix Workspace?
If you are unable to install Citrix Workspace on your computer or device then alternatively you can access Desktop@UCL Anywhere directly from your web browser.
You will need to ensure your computer/device is running a supported web browser.
Please note: Without Citrix Workspace installed you will be running the 'light' version of Desktop @ UCL so some features may not be available.
