IT and software purchases

Request approval  →

All IT-related purchases must be made through AU’s IT webshop and require prior approval from BTECH. This applies to purchases funded by both the department and external projects.


Request approval

Complete the form here with the following information:

  • Equipment you wish to purchase
  • Price
  • Funding (department or external project)
  • Reason for purchase

If you need equipment that is not available in the IT webshop, select Unspecified and describe your requirements.




Purchasing and replacing computers

Professors, associate professors, assistant professors and permanent technical and administrative staff can choose from all computers available in AU’s IT webshop (however, the most expensive MacBook models and iPads are not funded by the department).

Postdocs, PhD students and research assistants are provided with a standard laptop.

Computers are generally expected to be used for at least four years before being replaced.

For information on purchasing mobile phones, please see Internet and telephony at BTECH.

Software licenses

Software licences from AU’s IT webshop can be ordered without prior approval using project 90200 and case number 82401.

You can also find an overview of the licences funded by BSS IT on AU’s software page. AU’s Centre for Educational Development also provides a range of educational technology licences for teaching.

The licences are intended exclusively for work-related activities and may not be used for private purposes or by employees’ family members.
