You are starting a new education and you are looking to purchase a new notebook?
Students can profit from a few hard- and software offers from external companies. Microsoft offers Office 365 for Windows and Mac for all students for free.
Its a good idea to wait for the start of the annual sale from the neptun project or visit the apple store for students discounts.
As soon as you are an owner of a FHNW-Mail address you can profit from these offers. Students will receive notebook-recommendations at the start of their education.
In the digital age a reliable and up-to-date IT is the essential basis for our actions. That’s why the IT services of the FHNW are permanently in development, to offer optimal requirements for future-oriented work, studies and research.
