YOUR OWN WORKSTATION
All students follow courses on their own laptop, which they have to purchase themselves.
This offers a lot of advantages: you can work on the train, you don't have to worry about data carriers, in every class you have your own computer and files at your disposal, you can work with the latest versions of your documents at home and in your student’s apartment, you can install the latest software on your laptop through our network, and much more.
AFFORDABLE and LEGAL
Students can either use their own laptop, or buy one via Howest. Through the Howest partner Academic Shop (https://academicshop.eu/), DAE students can join the group purchase for their laptop and other hardware. This includes an affordable warranty and service package. (Eg a replacement laptop during longer repairs)
The minimum requirements for a DAE laptop can be found here (https://www.howest.be/en/hardware). The cost for legal software is included in the study cost (see "tuition fees" https://www.howest.be/en/applications-for-english-taught-degree-programmes#tuitions-and-finances), and instructions for installing software will be given during the introduction days at the start of the academic year.
You can find more information on www.howest.be/laptops. For your questions concerning deferred payment you can contact Stuvo (https://www.howest.be/nl/stuvo), our student information point.
