UK education discount?

Does anyone know what the educational discount is for the UK? And why do you have to go throught the equivalent of joining a secret society at Apple to find it out?
I don't know whether it is cheaper to go to my local school who will get me a macbook for minus VAT, keep my eye open for a refurbished one from the Apple store, or faff with Apple Education.

Thanks guys,
To be honest I think I followed that link before and thought I had ended up on the regular site. I think £50 is a pretty measly reduction, so I'll order through the refurb site or via my local school where I work.
Shame Apple can't offer better discounts for students etc as I doubt many young (as opposed to ... ahem... more 'mature') under and post grads could go for a macbook at £700 rather than some Microsoft based lappy for half the price. Get 'em young would be a good long term marketing policy I'd have thought

  • Can you use Apple education discount in store?

    I'm a sixth form student, and I have a UniDays student discount which allows me to get up to 15% off a Macbook on the Apple store. Can I use this discount to buy a Macbook in an Apple store? And also because the Apple education pricing states university students, will I still be able to use the discount? I've activated the discount and everything works fine online, but in a store would i be refused it because I am not university age? Thanks!

    I don't know about your particular store & location but in the UK I have used education discounts with purchases made in an Apple store. You need to prove you are eligible usually via a student ID etc. The store staff may let you login to the online store to see the price of the item for price matching, if there is a particular online Apple store for education - have your account details with you.
    You may find that the UniDays discount cannot be used with the student discount, its unclear to me if these are separate offers (check any small print or terms & conditions).

  • Education discount on Creative Cloud

    I'm currently not a official student nor a teacher but member of an association to promote non-directive education in Spain. We plan to produce a non-for-profit documentary about education next year that will be released on CC license and will need to use video, audio and photo editing software. I'd like to know whether this would apply as an educational license or not. Thank you.

    Hi Groundcontact,
    Association and non-profit organization are not eligible for the Education Discount.
    Thank you.

  • Stolen MacBook Pro, can I buy a new one with educational discount?

    I know this might not fit in this forum, but my question is:
    I have a MBP purchased last October with my educational discount. I think it is the case that I can use my educational discount only once a year to buy an Apple computer. However, my MBP is stolen and I have copies of the reports from the police. Can I use my educational discount again even if its less than one year since my last purchase?
    Also, is there a place I can register the stolen computer's MAC address or serial number so in case it goes back for Apple for a repair, it can be caught.
    Thanks,

    *"Can I use my educational discount again even if its less than one year since my last purchase?"*
    Nobody here can answer that with any certainty. You would need to ask Apple.
    *"is there a place I can register the stolen computer's MAC address or serial number so in case it goes back for Apple for a repair, it can be caught."*
    Only your local police department

  • Buying a MB with education discount outside my country

    I am a Belgian student who will go to Australia for an internship for a couple of months.
    Since the AUD is way cheaper than the Euro, I would like to purchase a MB Pro in the online Apple store with the education discount. The fact is that I am not a student at an Australian university, will it cause problems to purchase a MB Pro in the online store of Apple Australia?

    You likely won't have a problem. If you have a student ID that should be enough, regardless of what college you attend.

  • Why is South African Educator Discount almost non-existent?

    Hi
    I want to upgrade to Adobe Creative Cloud from the Photoshop subscription of $9.99 p.m. 
    However, since I am in South Africa, paying $49.99 p.m. (excluding 14% value added tax) is not affordable. Since I work at a university, I hoped to make use of the educators discount. Many of my colleagues purchased CS5 & 6 this way and received around 50% discount. Having the ability to install the software on personal computers instead of work computers is a major advantage, because work pcs often don't have enough graphics processing power - that is why we purchase this software for ourselves instead of through our employer, even though we still use it for work.   I also noted that the educators discount in the US and EU is 60% and in New Zealand it is 70%!
    Full of hope, I contact Adobe Sales (after having a very strange conversation with a non-English speaking person on Adobe Chat) and a very polite British guy gives me the contact details for a local (South African) reseller, as apparently Adobe does not handle educator discounts for South Africans directly.
    So guess how much of a discount I received from the reseller? A measly 19%. When I queried the amount quoted, the reseller told me that the price is provided by Adobe and they cannot change it.
    I guess something is better than nothing, but this discount does not come close to placing this product in the affordable range.
    My complaint is this: Why is the South African education discount so much worse than other countries? Please Adobe, I would just like a reasonable answer to this. If you tell me it is because of fraud or high taxes or whatever, I will be happy, but please at least provide South Africans with a reason for the differential treatment.
    Thanks for your response in advance

  • Do i qualifie to education discount if, im Polish student and i want to get discount for Ipad in ireland.

    I'm Polish student who is working in ireland for summer holiday, and question is do i qualifie to get education discount in ireland?

    If you want to sync it to the iPad from that Mac, you need to upgrade it to at least 10.5.8.
    If you want to copy the music to another Mac, you don't. Move the iTunes folder of the item in the Finder's sidebar over as you would any other folder. If you put it somewhere other than the Music folder, launch iTunes with the Option key held down and point it to that location.

  • IPads in School and Apple's Education Discount

    I'm a high school art and photo teacher and I bought the iPad the before the start of school year. I had also bought a 15 inch MBP and 17 inch iMac retiring an old G4 tower. I use the iPad every day showing examples of artwork, videos on art, referring to articles and the like. With 3G I can log into the web based grading and attendance site Infinite Campus that our school uses as we do not have WiFi. Since Infinite Campus requires Java for some functions I have had to rely on Cloud Browes to enter grades.
    My only complaint is that the iPad should have been eligible for Apple's educator discount. The iPad is absolutely perfect for use in school while the brand new MBP stays home gathering dust. If ever a device qualified for such a discount it would be for the iPad. I've demonstrated how effective the iPad is to countless teachers, students and some administrators. In a nearby school district 500 iPads were purchased for student and teacher use. Apple's presence in schools need be iPads and iMacs while the hundreds of iPods and iPhones are what need to be left home as they continue to be the most perfect distraction to learning I encounter everyday - in class!

    I agree with you but you are not talking to Apple in this forum. It inform Apple go here:

  • Can I use my education discount to buy a reburbished computer

    CCan I use my educational discount to purchase a reburaised MacBook Pro

    Ok so another question are you going to pay full price up front for the phone, use Edge or do it on a subsidy? Also which model since they vary in price from $650-$950.
    Line fees on a More Everything plan are typically $40 per line.As I said being on Edge or being off contract would reduce that by $25 if you have a 10 GB data plan as you state you would. The 10 GB data portion is $100 but since your discount is 26% it will only cost $74.
    So to keep this simple until I get more info from you if you still had all 3 lines under contract, 3 smartphone lines and 10 GB with a 26% discount would be $194 a month before taxes and fees.
    Since you have 2 lines currently of contract, if you kept using your current phones or paid full price upfront for new phones you'd have 2 month2month discounts of $25 so that would drop your bill to $144 before taxes/fees
    If you bought the cheapest iPhone 6 on Edge your Edge payment would be $32.50 a month for 20 months. So for two iPhones 6es( assuming you got the cheapest one ) that would be $65. That would on top of the $144. So a total of $209

  • Regarding Education Discount in Singapore

    Hello Apple,
    I'm visiting Singapore in approx 20 days from now, and I was actually planning to buy the MacBook Pro ME294 ($2599 one) in Singapore as it is cheap out there.
    I'm from India, and I'm a student of computer science engineering here.
    I was actually hoping if there would be a possibility that I would be able to avail the student discount in Singapore with my ID card of college of India.
    Please let me know what is the procedure for that, and what price I can come to with that.
    Thank you.

  • Proof you're a student to get educational discount???

    I am currently a higher-education student. How do I find out if my school qualifies for the educational discount, and, what kind of proof will the Apple Store need to prove I am a student??? Just a school ID???
    Thanks.

    Hi, again.
    Start here at the Apple Store for Education.

  • Proof for education discount

    I read that education discounts are available and I'm wondering if purchasing a Mac for my daughter who's still in public school counts ?

    No, if purchasing for a grade school/high school student, you would not be eligible for the discount.  If she was accepted for a college/university, or if presently attending one, she would be eligible.  Please check the following link for a full understanding of their educational discount.  http://store.apple.com/us/browse/open/salespolicies/edu

  • Educational discount from LR5.7 to LR6 (non CC)

    I have Lightroom 5.7 purchased through the educational discount program.
    I can not find an academic discount while trying to upgrade to the v.6 non-CC version.
    Is that discount really discontinued for the lone-ranger nonCC LR?

    AFAIK, there has never been an educational discount for upgrading from one version to another, there has only ever been a discount when purchasing the full license. So the upgrade price when going from any earlier version to LR6 is the same for students and non-students alike, so nothing has changed there. What has changed is that there is no longer any educational discount when purchasing a full license for the standalone version of LR6.
    Happy to be corrected if I've got that wrong.
