Software for students

Heads up! You can score some software for free or at reduced prices: Microsoft 365 with Teams and the Office programs Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc. is free for students. In addition, students can get special software at reduced prices: for example, SPSS for the social sciences or Mathematica for the natural sciences.


Computer rooms and u:print

If you do not want to buy special software for your studies yourself, you can use it in the computer rooms. Of course, you can also surf the web and edit texts or images there.
If your own laptop goes on strike or you want to kill some time, the computer rooms are a nice thing.

Apart from the large computer rooms in the NIG and at the Campus there are many more at institutes and libraries.

The computer rooms are also equipped with u:print printing devices that you can use to print, scan and copy documents.


Cloud storage – u:cloud

You do not have to print your precious seminar paper to avoid losing it. Instead, every student can use storage space in the u:cloud. Unlike Dropbox, Google Drive and the like, all data in u:cloud is stored on ZID servers, and thus in a secure environment. You can access files stored in u:cloud from anywhere and with any device.
