Your Microsoft 365 account

Microsoft 365

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

NEW STUDENTS! Do not buy Microsoft 365 applications as you get them free when you join the University, and for the duration of your studies. 

If a member of staff, your University device will already have the full suite of apps installed.

You can also access online versions (the web-based applications) from https://office.com/apps with your University email address and password should you wish.

Students are able to install the Microsoft 365 apps onto a personal PC or laptop, you can do this for up to 5 separate devices.

IMPORTANT: Uninstall any older versions of Microsoft Office, Office 365 or Microsoft 365 before installing.

Once logged in to https://office.com/apps with your University email, you will find yourself starting from Apps window.

Many of these apps can be used as cloud based applications on this page and do not need to be installed, however from the Apps page you can choose to download and install a variety of applications using the 'Install apps' button in the top right of the window. You should then follow the on-screen instructions to download and install these applications.

For support regarding installing Microsoft 365 apps on your device, please follow guidance from Microsoft on How to Install Microsoft 365 Apps (link will open in a new window).
