Where to find the best student deals and discounts
Once you start looking, you’ll find that there are thousands of offers designed exclusively for students elsewhere on the web. It can be quite overwhelming, so we’ve picked out the best ones.
There are even more student tech discounts available on the Student Beans discount page. You can search for all types of student tech deals here, so you can find what you’re looking for quickly and easily.
Adobe student offers
If your course involves any type of design, video, or photography elements, Adobe Creative Cloud is a great suite of software to have in your arsenal. Unfortunately, it’s quite expensive, which doesn’t lend itself easily to a student budget. Check out our dedicated guide to Adobe CC.
There is, of course, the student discount, which offers a fantastic 65% off. You can get the full package for just £16.24 per month compared to the normal price of £49.94 per month. Get Creative Cloud for students here.
