Available Software

This page lists the software that is available to staff and students at CSE. If you cannot find the software you are looking for anywhere on this page (or its subsequent links) then it is likely that we are unable to provide it.

Microsoft Office

We are able to provide Microsoft Office for Windows and Mac OSX. However, since this is a site-licence version of the software, we are only able to install it on CSE- or UNSW-owned machines. Please contact SS to arrange an installation, quoting your machine's asset code (found on a yellow or white barcode on the machine).

Matlab

Matlab is available for general use on all CSE lab machines. In addition to this, the university carries a site-licence that allows staff members (and students with staff IDs) to use the software outside of the CSE lab machines for research purposes. Please contact SS to arrange access to the Matlab installers.

More information on using Matlab can be found at the Matlab FAQ page.

IT at UNSW provide a variety of software to staff and students. They can be site-licensed or available at a discounted price.

Adobe Acrobat Professional (and other Adobe products)

Adobe products are available at a discounted price. Neither UNSW nor CSE carry a site-license for these software.
