    Swansea university in Swansea Wales.

    Yep. Every classroom door had them.

    https://hwb.swansea.ac.uk/hwb/student-id-card/

    All Swansea University students are issued with a Student ID card, sometimes also called a library card.

    Your Student ID card allows you to: swipe in to record your attendance at lectures

    borrow items from the library

    use the library printing, copying and scanning services

    access certain study rooms and labs

    identify yourself at University exams

    obtain sports and student society memberships

    Also I don’t think these are too expensive. I’ve worked at a lot of places that had security badge swipes at the doors.

      Thanks for the update. Wow, I’m impressed. For some reason I thought those were passport scanners or something. Still, digitally registering attendance feels quite fancy compared to my experience in more run down universities (not in the UK).

      Anyhow, it’s a bit of a shame that you had to pretend attending lectures for immigration purposes when you were already studying as a researcher
