Ireland's leading colleges and universities have joined forces with Apple to create the Apple on Campus programme. With Apple on Campus, the goal is to provide students, teachers and other education professionals with our full range of Mac hardware, software and peripherals at the best prices.
Apple on Campus is a fully secure, private online store designed specifically for you. It’s accessible on the Web via your university intranet 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and if you’re not on campus then you can call our friendly Mac experts over the telephone during normal working hours. They’re trained to give you the best advice and will take your order only when you’re ready.

Run Office and Windows.
Ready for anything.
A Mac can handle whatever student life throws at you, even a whole different platform. Microsoft Office works great on a Mac. In fact, Word, PowerPoint and Excel files created on a Mac are compatible with Windows.
Thanks to Boot Camp, a Mac can run Windows XP and Vista as if your Mac were a PC. And even more amazing, with Parallels Desktop for Mac, you can run Windows programs right next to your Mac applications and get the best of both worlds.
Built-in Wi-Fi.
Look, no wires.
With Wi-Fi built into every Mac, freedom is built in, too. From the lecture hall to the library to the coffee shop, you can connect with any Mac- or PC-based network. Wi-Fi networks show up on your desktop. Just click and connect and you can surf the web, send email, video chat and more. And it’s easy to share files with other computers.
You can also connect your compatible printer and powered speakers to AirPort Express and print documents and stream music wirelessly.
Get organised.
The easiest way to plan your future.
With hundreds of smart and simple features, a Mac can make student life a little easier and a lot more organised. iCal helps to keep your study schedule and social calendar straight. Use Address Book to keep your friends and family nearby.
Browse through your essays with Quick Look and Cover Flow and back up your work with Time Machine. Even Mail has innovative organisational tools like notes and to-do features built in. Advanced yet simple to use — that’s what a Mac is all about.
Photos, music, and more.
What an iLife.
Impress your professors with more than an essay. Share university life with your friends and family back home. It’s easy with iLife, the amazing software suite included with every Mac. Organise your digital photos with iPhoto so
you can create slick photo books or slideshows. Import your videos and edit them into a movie in iMovie. Create a podcast, website or blog with iWeb. And compose a song in GarageBand. With iLife, university really is the best time of your life.
Easy video chat.
Tell your parents you’ll call home often.
Every Mac notebook and iMac comes with iChat, a built-in iSight camera, and an instant cure for homesickness. Whenever you need to see a familiar face, just video chat with your friends and family back home. You can connect with up to three other people at once.
Chat from home, a coffee shop or the student union. Even from Paris or the moon — video backdrops are built into iChat. iChat works with AIM, the largest instant messaging community in the world. And since it works over the Internet, you can talk all you want for free.
Safe and secure.
A healthier computer.
Apple builds the computer and the software that comes with it. Since they’re literally made for each other, a Mac rarely freezes or crashes. A Mac is designed with security in mind.
Mac OS X is built on a rock-solid UNIX foundation to make it resistant to computer viruses, so you won’t have to worry about losing all your hard work. To be extra safe, Safari, the Apple web browser, alerts you whenever you’re downloading an application. And Apple makes free security updates available for Mac owners to download automatically.
iTunes U.
Welcome to iTunes U.
Higher education has gone high tech. Thanks to iTunes U, your professors can post lectures, discussions and videos of classes on your university’s iTunes U site. You can download them to your Mac and put them on your iPod. Then you can learn wherever you are, whenever you want — all free of charge.
If your university doesn’t post content to iTunes U, no problem. You can access free content from dozens of universities around the world, with topics on everything from business to science to law. At last count, there were more than 200,000 educational audio and video files available. Whether you’re on campus, off campus or nowhere near a campus, now learning comes to you.
