Apple offer 10 per cent off 

Apple is offering up to 10 per cent off Macs and iPads to students and teachers, plus a free Apple gift card of up to £130. 

This deal is available via the Apple and Education website or at any Apple Store to current and newly accepted university students. 

You can verify your student status via the UniDays website. This promotion expires on 23 October.

If you buy certain products through the Apple and Education scheme you can get an Apple gift card of up to £130, depending on what product you buy. 

Once you've selected an eligible Apple product, the gift card will be automatically added to your 'bag', and will be sent to your billing email address within 24 hours from the time your new product ships - so you can't use this straight away to get a discount on the product itself. 

Spotify Premium free for three months

Students can also get Spotify Premium for free for three months and then they can pay £5.99 a month thereafter.

The monthly price is reduced from the standard £10.99 a month for a Premium Individual plan.

Premium allows access to ad-free music, listening to music or podcasts offline and better sound quality. The offer runs until the 10 October 2023.

Boots offer a 10 per cent student discount

Once you have signed up, pop into a store and head to the till to link your card with your valid student ID to activate your membership.

Students can also save 10 per cent on their first pair of glasses, prescription sunglasses and contact lenses.

PureGym offer 30 per cent off 

Students can get up to 30 per cent off six, nine and 12 month memberships at PureGym.

You can access this by registering and verifying your student status with UNiDAYS - it's as easy as that.

The deal covers free multi-gym access outside of term time and unlimited classes, with there being over 340 gyms nationwide.

Free Amazon Prime for six months

Students can get six months of free Amazon Prime when signing up to Amazon Student. 

Alongside Amazon's Prime music and video, students can also get free one-day deliveries as well as photo storage.

After the Amazon Student trial ends, you can still get 50 per cent off full Prime membership if you'd like to continue using it.

So it will cost £4.49 a month (£47.49 for a year) instead of £8.99 a month (or £95 for a year).

You must be a UK student aged 18 or over and you can't have been an Amazon Prime member within the last 12 months.

Free Microsoft Office 

If you're a student or working in education and have an academic email address, you can download the entire Office software suite for free.

This means Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, OneNote, Publisher and Access are all up for grabs for free on up to five PCs or Macs.

All you have to do is enter your academic email address on the Office website.  You'll then be asked to log in through your institution's online portal and if you're eligible, you'll be redirected to a page where you can download the software.

JD Student Spins     

JD Student Spins offers thousands of rewards to students, alongside 20 per cent  discount.

From the 25 September to 8 October the sports retailer is introducing the promotion which means every haul over £30 will equal the chance to secure a selection of rewards. 

Ranging from Just Eat credit for chilled nights in, to free Costa hot drinks, essential for lengthy library sessions and early morning starts.

Plus, make the most of downtime with cinema tickets and JD Gym passes which are also up for grabs with every spin of the online virtual wheel.
