VPN for students

You will need VPN connections to access certain THWS services. Staff or lecturers will usually direct you to this service if it is necessary for you.

To use the VPN (Virtual Private Network), you must submit the "Application for VPN Use" via the Student Portal. You can find the application by clicking on your account name in the top right-hand corner of the portal.
