Using Power BI with Azure license/subscription
Power BI falls within the Office 365 eco system. In a usual scenario, users would log in with their company emails and the free licensed would be assigned as part of the Office 365 Tenant. I'm not sure how Office 365 works for universities, but that would be the rabbit hole you'd need to explore.
Azure licenses will really only influence the 'data source' aspect of power bi, rather than the use of the Power BI service itself.

Thank you for your comment. I guess the PowerBI Pro isn't commercially available as a University subscription but needs to be bought as a standalone license. I saw the PowerBI Server can be used as a premium service but I don't think the students require such high features and premium service just for two classes and a basic project.
