Offer for UAS, UTE and CHE first semester students


Most colleges of higher education, universities of applied sciences and universities of teacher education have a mandatory laptop requirement. Students in the first semester must obtain a suitable work device for their field of study in time for installation days or introduction courses, which take place in the weeks before lectures begin. Please check the information provided by your college or university.

In the fall semester, we open the sale for first semester students of UAS, UTE and CHE three weeks earlier than for all other students. Only laptop models that are available from stock can be ordered. The offer is adjusted to the hardware requirements of the colleges and universities. This is especially relevant for technical courses, as they have higher hardware requirements. 

There is no pre-sale during the spring semester. You can purchase during the regular Neptun wave spring, which opens one week before classes begin. Please note the delivery time indicated for each laptop model.
