Mac users can download Office 2011 which is the most recent version for Mac.

Users aren't limited to just one device either. You can install Office on up to five different PCs or Macs and if you have a tablet or mobile such as an iPad, iPhone or Android device, you can also use the mobile versions for free.

The deal also gives each person 1 terabyte (1,000 GB) of free online storage space which you can use when you login to Microsoft OneDrive with your Sussex username and password.

Although the programme is called Office 365 for students, staff are also eligible to download Office at no cost under the same offer.
