New student, do not pass by your Adobe!
The pricing of Adobe Creative Cloud is determined by its manufacturer and retailers. Metropolia, together with other higher education institutions, has participated in negotiations to secure the lowest possible price for the licence offered to students.
Many other software manufacturers are keen to offer their products to students free of charge in order to promote their software and support studies. However, Adobe has not adopted this approach, meaning that unfortunately, students are also required to pay for its software products—although the fee is significantly lower than that of a commercial licence.
