Access through a web browser
Outlook Web App (OWA) is the simplest way you can access your University email and calendar, using your web browser on any device.

Access through Outlook

Outlook gives you quick access to your email and calendar without logging in every time, with a similar look and feel on every device.
Windows and Mac laptop and desktop
On a University computer
If you are using a University computer, Outlook should already be installed. You may need to enter your password the first time you use it. The full Outlook application is not available on public access computers, and you should use the Outlook Web App to access your email on these devices.
On your personal Windows or Mac laptop or desktop computer
You can install Office 365 for free. You can use this throughout your time at the University.
When you have installed it, open Outlook and enter your University email address, like abc123@bath.ac.uk, and password.
iOS and Android mobile devices
You can install Outlook apps for your iPhone, iPad or Android phone or tablet:
- download Outlook for your iPhone or iPad from the AppStore

After installing the app, enter your University email address, like abc123@bath.ac.uk, and password.
If you are prompted, add the server name, outlook.office365.com
