On 29 May, Adobe announced a partnership with PSC that will provide unprecedented access to the new Adobe Creative Suite electronic download – making the program more affordable to students.

Adobe have announced that from June, anyone that currently uses the CS6 Master Collection program (bought on disk), will no longer be offered upgrades unless they have signed-up for the new Adobe suite, via their new subscription service.

As described by Adobe, the new ‘subscription service’ will give users unlimited access to download and install all Adobe Creative Suite applications including Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator and Dreamweaver.

PSC is the first college in Australia to negotiate a partnership with Adobe and communicate the benefits to its students.

Julie Moss, Managing Director of PSC said, “while some people may be annoyed by Adobe changing to a subscription service, for our students this means that they will all now have equal access – as paying $3949 outright under current arrangements, just wasn’t affordable for some students.”

This new partnership between PSC and Adobe will see PSC students have access to the full Adobe Creative Suite at a considerably discounted rate. Students who subscribe through the college’s intranet before 25 June will pay as little as $14.99 per month for the first year and then $24.99 per month thereafter.

“I am so excited to see what our students will come up with in their photography portfolios, as now they will all have access to a fully integrated suite of creative programs that has become affordable across the board,” Julie said.
