Professor Joe Cain shares a practical money-saving tip for students joining the Science Communication MSc program at UCL. He highlights how students can access major educational discounts on software suites, focusing on the Adobe Creative Cloud suite—a popular request among students—as a prime example.
Professor Cain advises incoming students to hold off on purchasing software prior to arrival. He points out that students may discover free alternatives or realize specific tools aren’t necessary for their studies. However, if students do choose to purchase software, using student discounts offers full, unrestricted access for as long as they remain enrolled at UCL.
UCL offers a range of free software services for students and staff. This includes anti-virus and firmware software.
