Software for Personal Machines

This page lists a small number of applications that are available directly through the department for use on a personal machine.

The vast majority of software that you may be entitled to is managed centrally via the IT Services registration portal or the IT Services online shop. In particular, if your machine is running Windows, you should strongly consider installing Sophos anti-virus (free to university members).

You can also obtain discounted licenses for Adobe Creative Cloud and some other software via OnTheHub - sign in using your SSO credentials, then use the dropdown menu at the top of the page to browse the available categories.

For other software needs that may require a purchase, please review the departmental IT purchasing guidance.
