Apple Store UK Edu discount

[Steve]

How do you go about getting Student Discount? Can it be done online?

Basically my brother wants to get an new iMac, and i suddenly thought, he's at college, surely he can get a little off... Anyhow, err how is this achieved?

The info is Here, but its kinda sketchy. Is anyone studying @ college in the UK dealt with Apple, buying items from the store? If anyone can help us out, that would be cool...

Cheers guys,

Steve

I don't know how it is in the UK, but here in the Netherlands there is a special Education Store in which the discount is already calculated in the prices (here in Holland the educational discount is around 6%). If I place an order there I need to fax my a copy of my College ID-card after which my order is approved and sent to me. It's not much of a hassle, but I don't know how things are arranged on the other side of the North Sea ;).

Hi Steve,

I too wondered about this very thing recently. I am a student at edinburgh university and found that if you go here: Apple UK Students and then click on store in the tabs up the top, you can then go onto the proper student store with all the nice discounted prices!! :D

He'll need to access it from on campus, as it won't work off campus. That is unless the college provides a proxy server he can use.

Hope this all helps.

Oh, I got my iBook today, all I need is OS X and I will be sorted. Have enjoyed it so far!!
