As an additional benefit under the University's licence arrangements with Microsoft, some Microsoft software is available for home use. 

Please note that these benefits are only available whilst you remain a member of staff or a student at the University, and software downloaded or purchased under these benefits must only be used for work purposes.

Office

The applications that are included within the Office Suite (e.g. Word, Excel, etc) can be downloaded for free on up to 5 devices per licensed staff member or student.  See Office 365 Pro Plus for more details.

Windows

Staff can purchase Windows for use on home machines at a discounted price.  This offer is provided by a third party website, ncl.ac.onthehub.com.  Anyone buying software from this site is purchasing direct from Kivuto at a price set by Microsoft; the cost of the software is not met by the University and support for the software will not be provided by the University.

Software Development Tools

Staff who teach on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Maths) courses may access additional Microsoft software via the Azure Dev Tools for Teaching program.  This allows access to additional software for teaching or research purposes for STEM subjects only.
