Discount available from UAL
UAL offers a massive discount on Adobe Creative Cloud for all students, this discount is on top of the usual student pricing, in 2020-21 that meant that Creative Cloud was only £48 for the 12 months from 14thmid August 2020 to 13th August 2021,August, over the £16.14 per month that you'd usually pay.
Note:
This is a fixed period license, meaning it starts from the 14thmid August each year and ends on the 13thmid August of the following year regardless of when you actually start paying for and using it and there is no pro-rated discount, however it's still cheaper if you sign up before around the 13thmid May.
