FIND OUT HOW TO PAY NOTHING OR LESS FOR MICROSOFT OFFICE, ADOBE CREATIVE CLOUD, AND OTHER EDUCATIONAL SOFTWARE.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’re big believers in freebies so today, I want to show you where to find ‘FREE’ software provided by Universities in Auckland.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Office 365<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This is the bare essential that every student needs. Any student at a tertiary institution is eligible for Office 365 which includes software such as Word<\/strong>, Excel<\/strong>, PowerPoint<\/strong>, Outlook<\/strong> and OneNote<\/strong>. You can download on up to 5 devices on Windows and Mac.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

University of Auckland:<\/strong> Windows<\/em><\/a>, Mac<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

AUT:<\/strong> Download<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unitec:<\/strong>  Download<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Massey:<\/strong> Download<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adobe Creative Cloud<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Creatives<\/em>! Do you need Photoshop<\/strong> or Illustrator<\/strong> or any other Adobe software? Students and teachers can save up to 70% on the Creative Cloud for Education pricing here<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Azure<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Get it here<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Microsoft Windows and more…<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

All other software that is available for free or at a huge discount is accessible via the University OnTheHub portal.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Windows 10<\/strong> is often offered for free. To check, click this link<\/a> to see whether your tertiary institution offers it. You will also have the chance to see other discounted software from OntheHub.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, free software that you will find at UoA<\/strong> will include “buzzword” tech from IBM. I personally recommend exploring their IoT (Internet of Things), Data and Analytics, & Blockchain software. Although not commonly used, this might be of interest to Compsci or Engineering students.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

EndNote<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Referencing is perhaps one of the most tiring elements of assignments. Using EndNote you can manage your references. At UoA<\/strong> you can purchase this for $7<\/a>, but it’s FREE<\/strong> for AUT<\/strong> students<\/em> here<\/a> and Massey<\/strong> students<\/em> here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
