Accessing Matlab

If you are a UQ staff member or enrolled student, you can access Matlab on UQ-owned computers free-of-charge.

• Staff: you can install Matlab on UQ-owned computers managed by ITS using the Microsoft Software Center. For other UQ-owned computers, contact your local IT support team.
• Students: Matlab is installed on computers in Faculty of Engineering, Architecture and Information Technology (EAIT) and Faculty of Science computer labs. It is not available on Library computers.

Some Matlab toolboxes are operating system-specific.

Home use
