Every student receives a standard software package, which can be downloaded and installed at no extra cost.

In addition, some study programs require the use of extra paid software, Odisee covers part of these costs. This allows us to offer additional software at significantly reduced prices and ensures that every student can use the software legally and safely on a personal laptop.

The extra software, as determined by your program, is considered mandatory study material. The cost of each software package is displayed through the Academic Software portal. An estimate of these costs is also included in the overall study expenses in accordance with this procedure (in Dutch).

A complete cost estimate can be found here:

Program-specific costs

Depending on the needs of your specific study path, you purchase the required software on an ad-hoc basis. This can be done either at the start or throughout the academic year.

You can download and install all software through the Academic Software portal. After logging in, you can add the extra paid software to your package either via the ‘Show more’ button on the homepage or via the ‘Software’ menu by clicking on ‘Extra software’. Once the software is purchased, it will appear in your overview, from where you can download, install, and activate it.
