Las opciones gratuitas que la mayoría de los estudiantes pasa por alto
Microsoft ofrece Office 365 A1 gratuitamente a los estudiantes verificados de miles de universidades. Inicie sesión en office.com con su dirección de correo .edu, .ac.uk o .uni — si su institución está inscrita, verá la suite completa disponible al instante.
Google Workspace for Education es la segunda opción gratuita más habitual, predominante en primaria y secundaria, pero también disponible en muchas universidades.
Cuándo pagar (y cuánto)
Si se gradúa, cambia de institución o su universidad no está inscrita, necesitará comprar. La vía legítima más económica depende de si necesita Outlook.

|---|---|---|---|
| Office 2024 Home & Student | €24,90 | Word/Excel/PPT/OneNote | Perpetua, 1 PC o Mac |
| Office 2024 Home & Business | €49,90 | + Outlook | Uso comercial permitido (actividad secundaria) |
| Microsoft 365 Personal | €69/año | Completa + 1 TB OneDrive | Incluye Copilot Chat |

Qué elegir según la carrera
Algunas carreras dependen en gran medida de funciones concretas — elija en consecuencia.
- · Humanidades / Derecho: cualquier opción funciona. LibreOffice + Zotero es una combinación gratuita popular.
- · STEM / Ingeniería: Excel es difícil de sustituir (Solver, ToolPak de análisis de datos). Office 2024 Home & Student o M365.
- · Empresariales / Finanzas: las tablas dinámicas y Power Query de Excel hacen de Office 2024 la opción práctica.
- · Informática: VS Code (gratis) + LibreOffice suele ser suficiente. Añada Office solo si su universidad exige envíos en .docx.
