Whatever your area of study, the Mac is loaded with all the tools you need to thrive. Whether you’re working on research projects or your presentation, Apple enriches your university experience while preparing you for the future. With a Mac, you become proficient in Apple’s amazing software. And because a Mac can also run Microsoft Office (sold separately), you can master that, too.
Mac for Any Major
The best way to prepare for your career is to use the tools the pros use. And increasingly, the pros are trusting the power and reliability of the Mac.
Medicine and Dentistry
Understanding human anatomy, visualising medical problems and researching complex processes. Just a normal day in a medical faculty. A Mac can handle all of that and everything else you need your computer to do.
The Sciences
Nearly half of all academic life scientists and most major research companies use Mac computers for research. The Mac allows scientists to see complex concepts through visualisation and quickly test multiple hypotheses through simulation.
The Creative Arts
To prepare for a career in filmmaking, design, recording or photography, it makes sense to work with the tools the pros use. Apple pro applications such as Final Cut Studio 2 and Logic are the applications professionals depend on.
Computer Science
A Mac is all a computer science major needs. All new Mac computers run Mac OS X and x86 operating systems, so you can create programs for virtually any platform — Mac (including applications for iPhone), Windows, Linux and UNIX.
Business
Business professionals need to communicate their ideas and proposals in clear and compelling ways. Only the Mac comes with incredibly easy-to-use tools that enable students and professionals to create stunning visual presentations that include audio, video and music.
Communications
Blogs. Webcasts. Podcasts. Video creation for online newspapers. Technology continues to change the world of journalism. Apple applications and the powerful MacBook are the tools of choice for reporting from the field.
