De gratis opties die de meeste studenten over het hoofd zien
Microsoft biedt Office 365 A1 gratis aan aan geverifieerde studenten bij duizenden universiteiten. Meld u aan op office.com met uw .edu-, .ac.uk- of .uni-e-mailadres — als uw instelling is ingeschreven, ziet u de volledige suite direct beschikbaar.
Google Workspace for Education is de tweede meest voorkomende gratis optie, dominant in het basisonderwijs en voortgezet onderwijs, maar ook beschikbaar aan vele universiteiten.
Wanneer u moet betalen (en wat u moet betalen)
Als u afstudeert, van instelling wisselt of uw universiteit niet is ingeschreven, moet u een licentie kopen. De goedkoopste legitieme route hangt af van of u Outlook nodig heeft.

Welke optie per opleiding
Sommige opleidingen steunen zwaar op specifieke functies — kies dienovereenkomstig.
- · Geesteswetenschappen / Rechten: elke optie volstaat. LibreOffice + Zotero is een populaire gratis combinatie.
- · STEM / Techniek: Excel is moeilijk te vervangen (Oplosser, Data Analysis ToolPak). Office 2024 Home & Student of M365.
- · Bedrijfskunde / Financiën: de draaitabellen en Power Query van Excel maken Office 2024 de praktische keuze.
