About

Microsoft Visio is a diagramming and vector graphics application and is part of the Microsoft Office suite.

 

There are three versions available, a Web App and two Desktop Apps; Standard and Professional.

The web app is available to all staff and students and can be accessed via:

                https://visio.office.com                 or            https://myapplications.microsoft.com/

when logged in with your University credentials.

 

The Web App doesn’t have all the functionality of the Desktop Apps but it covers most of the basic functions and may be sufficient for the needs of many users. The Web App can also be used to view files created in the Desktop Apps. Here is some information on the differences between versions at:
