Adobe Creative Campus
As students at an Adobe Creative Campus, everyone at Herts has access to Adobe Creative Cloud and Adobe Express, and exclusive learning activities and events.
Adobe Express
All Herts students have access to a free online Adobe Express account. Log-in from express.adobe.com/a/herts.ac.uk.
Adobe Express is a cloud-based app for creative projects, such as creating presentations, images, documents, videos, social media content and webpages.
Unlike other Adobe design software, Adobe Express has been designed for mainstream users, rather than professional graphic designers.
Adobe Creative Cloud
Applications in the Adobe Creative Cloud suite include Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Premier Pro, Adobe Indesign and Adobe Publisher. Adobe Creative Cloud applications are available on LRC PCs and MACs. Find full details of the applications available in the Specialist Software in LRC Technology Suites.

Adobe guidance and tutorials are on the Adobe Learn website. Select the application you are using from the top left had corner of this landing page.
LinkedIn Learning also has courses and short video tutorials for a range of Adobe applications. All Herts students have free access to LinkedIn Learning for the duration of your studies and for two years after graduation. Set-up your account at go.herts.ac.uk/LiL.
