Microsoft 365 for Students
How do I register for M365?
As a student at the University of Mannheim, you can use your own Microsoft 365 instance to effectively collaborate within your learning groups, regardless of their location.
Paid version
The paid version with a Baden-Württemberg license via Bildung 365 (@bwedu.de) will no longer be available. You will not be able to renew your corresponding subscription.
