Are you a student looking to make an impact in your field? Are you ready to wow your professors with great design?
We understand that student life can be tough. You’re balancing what seems like a never-ending list of new responsibilities, not to mention that your pockets aren’t exactly overflowing at the moment. So where does one find the time and energy to think about design software?
Let us help you answer that question. In this blog post, we’ll quickly break down and simplify everything available to you as a student from us at Vectorworks!
FREE EDUCATIONAL LICENSES FOR STUDENTS & PROFESSORS
As a student or professor, you can get yourself a free educational license of Vectorworks Design Suite, our most robust offering that includes all the capabilities of Architect (architecture and interiors), Landmark (landscape design and landscape architecture), Spotlight (entertainment design), and Fundamentals. Professors can also get a free educational license to use for instruction.
There are plenty of situations where you might want access to cross-industry features. Site modeling, detailed lighting, the list could go on. Plus, it’s not like you’re paying for those features. You might as well have them.
It’s worth mentioning that collaborating with those who design with other software is no sweat. There are many import, export, and referencing options available.

Entering the professional world can certainly cause financial headache, which is why our student2PRO program gives recent graduates fantastic value — valid for three years after graduation, you can sign up for a one-year subscription at a 40% discount. That license doesn’t have the educational watermark associated with documentation, and you can convert your student work to watermark-free files at no cost. And for icing on the cake: you’ll also get free access to the on-demand Vectorworks Professional Certification program of your choice.
