Working from home

This service is available to both staff and students. All you need for access to these apps are:
1. Computer – A laptop, Smartphone or any compatible device with a Wi-Fi connection.
2. Multi Factor Authentication – A one-time set-up on the QMUL multi factor authentication (MFA) service.
Configure Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
In order to access this service you have to configure MFA first. If you already have configured MFA please follow the instructions below to access the service.
Information on how to set up and use this our MFA service can be downloaded from here MFA Instructions [PDF 620KB]. Click here to go straight to the MFA Registration Portal. Please be aware that you will need a separate device with internet connection to complete the set up.
AVD Remote Access Solution
The AVD service has been scoped for occasional use when students/staff need to work remotely away from the campus. The solution has peak demand periods and all users are required to use the service responsibly i.e. LOGGING OUT WHEN NOT USING THE SERVICE.
Please note: Some apps may not be available to you as these may be restricted to school/institutes due to licencing terms.
