Bringing the best of AI to university students, free of charge

Millions of university students across the U.K. are heading back to school. To help make the school year even better, we're making our most advanced AI tools available to them, free of charge.

Bringing the best technologies to every student has always been core to Google's mission. It's why we built Chromebooks for every classroom, and why we’ve been working on LearnLM, which has helped make Gemini the world’s leading model for learning.

Here’s more detail on what we’re announcing:

Our most advanced AI tools for learning

Starting September 4, university students (ages 18+) in the U.K., can sign-up for a 12 month Google AI Pro plan, free of charge (subscription required thereafter). Here’s what they’ll get:

• Expanded access to Gemini 2.5 Pro: Ask any question and upload images. Our most capable model provides quick homework and writing help with unlimited chat, image upload
• Deep Research: Save time with custom research reports, providing in-depth information from hundreds of sites across the web with higher access to Deep Research on 2.5 Pro.
• NotebookLM: A one-of-a-kind thinking companion that helps you organize your thoughts, now with five times more audio and video overviews.
• Veo 3: Transform text or a photo into a 8-second video with sound using Veo 3
• Higher limits when using Jules, our asynchronous AI coding agent that can fix bugs and build new features for your coding projects.
• 2 TB of storage: tons of space for all your notes, projects, photos and papers on Google Photos, Drive and Gmail.

We’re hoping to expand this offer to more countries around the world soon. Learn more and sign up for the 12-month Google AI Pro plan, at no cost, by November 3.

Guided Learning: from answers to understanding

AI is opening up access to information on an unprecedented scale, and making it possible to learn in the format most useful to you. It’s not about just getting an answer, but deepening understanding and building critical thinking skills along the way. That opportunity is why we built Guided Learning, a new mode in Gemini to help anyone learn and study, guiding you with questions and step-by-step support instead of just giving you the answer. We worked closely with students, educators, researchers and learning experts to make sure it’s helpful for understanding new concepts and is backed by learning science.

Using Gemini 2.5 Pro, students can work through things like complex math problems step-by-step, structure arguments, get started on an essay, prep for a test, get homework help and a lot more. In addition to Guided Learning, we’re launching more tools to help students test their understanding of concepts with multimodal responses, including images, videos and interactive quizzes. And we’re making it easier for teachers to share these tools with students directly.

Getting our most powerful technology into students’ hands – while supporting them with training and infrastructure — is how they’ll shape the AI platform shift and make sure it benefits everyone. We can’t wait to see what the next generation of builders, and thinkers will do.
