Access to Office 365 is managed by Digital Services

The information below is from their web page 'Office 365':

The full suite of Microsoft applications like Outlook for email and calendar, Word for creating documents, OneDrive for storing and sharing documents, and Teams for chat and video, is available to all staff and students using a University or personal PC/laptop. 

If you would like to add Microsoft office to a personal PC or laptop, you can do this for up to 5 separate personal devices. Once logged into https://office.com with your University email, you will notice a tab at the top right of your window that says 'Install Office'. Select the first option 'Office 365 apps' and follow the on-screen steps to install and run.

If using a tablet or mobile phone - You can access all of the Office 365 suite by installing the individual applications from your usual app store. Please ensure that you sign in with your university email address and password after installing the app, to link it to your account, and have access to your university documents.

 

Please note: Students keep access to the University Microsoft 365 account for 3 months after your graduation date, after which time your access will be withdrawn. You will be sent an email in good time of this date, to start moving any work or emails you wish to keep.
