Yes, you’ll have full access to Studio through your Bluebeam subscription.

As part of your Bluebeam subscription, we offer students and educators free access to Bluebeam University (BBU), which includes numerous courses and learning paths covering everything from basic features to advanced workflows.

Your academic subscription will remain active through its original expiration date. You are welcome to use it for personal projects or to build your skills via Bluebeam University for the duration of your internship. Please note that academic subscriptions are for academic purposes only; they may not be used for commercial projects as part of your internship.

Your academic subscription is valid for one year from the date you are approved. For example, if you receive your subscription on 1 September, your licence will expire on 1 September of the following year.

Students and educators in credit-bearing courses and registered apprenticeship programs are eligible for Bluebeam’s academic subscriptions. Please see the detailed eligibility information above on this page for complete information.

We offer academic subscriptions to students and educators at primary and secondary schools, universities, TAFEs and apprenticeship programs. If your school does not appear as an option on the application form, please request that your school be added here.

We partner with SheerID to validate the academic affiliations of students and teachers. For some users, SheerID can complete this validation step with only a user’s academic email address. For others, the process will also require documentation confirming the user’s name, school name and current employment/enrolment.

Individual academic licences of Revu 20 will expire on 1 September 2025. Please upgrade to an academic subscription before that date to ensure continued access to Bluebeam. Academic subscriptions will remain free, and they connect you to the best of Bluebeam, from automatic Bluebeam University access to all the latest feature releases.

Good news, classrooms and computer labs no longer need to apply for a Bluebeam licence! Lab administrators can download the latest version of Revu for free here and install it across machines using this implementation guide. Registered academic users can log into their Bluebeam accounts to access Bluebeam functionality from any computer with Revu installed.

To connect with industry professionals in your area, we recommend joining a Bluebeam User Group (BUG) within the Bluebeam Community. Interested in starting a Student BUG at your school? Contact [email protected].
