You don't need any specific resource to study in the MEM. However, there are many courses where students develop activities and projects in the classroom. For this reason, we recommend to bring a laptop to the class. Depending on the course and the session, professors will ask you to bring your own laptop or just one per group. Professors will tell you what you need to bring in each session. Don't worry, because the university library can borrow laptops if necessary.
