General - What kind of laptop do I need for my studies and how do I get the necessary software?

To be able to take your digital exam and to use the software required for a course, your laptop must meet minimum requirements. Because you will need a lot of ‘Windows’ software, a Windows laptop is adviced. A Chromebook cannot be used and if you choose to use a MacBook, be aware you need to run Windows on your Mac.

Every year, WUR facilitates an attractive laptop offer in de LaptopShop. The models from the LaptopShop meet the minimum requirements and offer extensive service, regardless of your choose within WUR’s flexible education model.

The software you need for your courses can be installed from the WUR Appstore. Take enough time to prepare your laptop for using the WUR Appstore before the first classes. Instructions can be found on studentsupport.wur.nl. If you need personal help, you can go to ServicePoint IT in Forum.
