What software is available at CCI?

We have a range of software available on our computers on site, for remote access, and that you can install on your own personal computers.

On your own device

As a student at UAL you have access to a range of software you can install and use on your own computers for educational purposes:

Free from UAL

  • Microsoft Office – Login using your UAL account and select "Install Office" in the top right corner.

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 mid August, over the £16.14 per month that you'd usually pay.

Note:
This is a fixed period license, meaning it starts from mid August each year and ends mid 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 mid May.

Free for students
