About Hornet

HORNET Services | Connecting Students Since 2004

The University of Manchester provides internet access to students living in halls of residence through the HORNET service, which is delivered and supported by IT Services. Wi-Fi is available throughout residences, while study bedrooms are equipped with a RJ45 network socket, providing a fast, reliable, and secure wired internet connection.

HORNET is designed to support studying, streaming, gaming, and staying in touch with family and friends. Backed by a dedicated support team, students can stay connected throughout their time in halls.
