MyAUB is an online portal and a smartphone app that gives students access to email, calendar information, learning environments, software training, cloud storage and details such as your timetable and course blog.
You can log in to myAUB as soon as you have your AUB username and password.
The smartphone app is available from both Android and iOS app stores by searching for "myAUB".
All students are provided with a Microsoft Office 365 email account, which uses your student number as the email address with your name as the alias, i.e. Sally Smith = 12345678@my.aub.ac.uk.
This email address is the primary way the University will keep in touch with you while you're studying with us.
Every AUB student is able to access the following software for free:
Students on some of our courses will also be provided with additional software and/or access to “remote access” to high-specification resources where the course involves using large files or render computing.
AUB has arranged discounts on laptops and other hardware from Apple and Dell for our students. If you're planning on investing in a new computer to support your studies, we recommend that you wait until you've set up your AUB IT login so that you can take advantage of these discounts.
You can access these discounts by signing up to the following websites using your AUB email address:
This course uses both Apple and Windows computers.
You're encouraged to bring their own laptop and mobile device to AUB to support online learning, collaboration and communication while at university.
Before your arrival and during your first week, we'll be in touch to check that you have access to the hardware, software and internet connection required to take part in your course and to let you know what support is available.
You'll be provided with a 16 GB USB, but purchasing your own personal hard drive (1 TB+) would be a recommended investment.
A Wacom pen is recommended but not a course requirement.
