Not usually but he'll be able to buy it cheaper with student licence..
There are free compatible suites out there.
Get Open Office or speak to the University - they may have a deal with software providers where you get prices specifically for each university.

Bear in mind that the software will have to be removed when he leave university.

thanks very much guys and gals !! xxx
As has been indicated, your son doesn't actually need Microsoft Office. Apache OpenOffice is just as good:
https://www.openoffice.org/

(By default OpenOffice saves files in its own native formats. To change that default setting, so that it always uses Microsoft formats, simply follow the instructions here:

I can highly recommend this firm as a supplier of budget laptops:
