Student Beans and UNiDAYS
How to use your CFS student email to save on filmmaking gear, software subscriptions, and lifestyle perks.
As a Central Film School (CFS) student, you are eligible for free access to StudentBeans and UNiDAYS—the two largest student discount platforms in the UK. These platforms unlock thousands of exclusive savings on everything from production tech and filmmaking gear to everyday food, fashion, and lifestyle expenses.

- Technology & Gear: Major discounts on creative hardware, laptops, and tablets from brands like Apple, Samsung, and Acer, alongside savings on production peripherals.
- Software & Subscriptions: Discounted rates on essential study and entertainment tools, including Spotify Premium, Amazon Prime Student, and productivity software.
- Entertainment & Cinema: Save up to 30% off Cineworld Unlimited memberships, get discounted tickets at Odeon, and access cheap entry to theater and media events.
