About Varsity

What is Varsity?

Varsity is Cambridge University’s independent student newspaper, published every Friday of term time and available to all students, staff and friends of the University since 1947.

We deliver 10,000 free copies to all 31 colleges in the University, from where they are distributed from mail rooms, common rooms and social areas. Copies are also distributed to the University's faculties, departments, social areas, and to our extensive subscription list. We are also widely read by students at Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge.

As well as our award-winning news, features, opinion and editorial content, Varsity is the essential guide to what's on in Cambridge, a crucial reference guide to everything from job application deadlines to Saturday night's entertainment. 84% of Cambridge finalists read Varsity (Source: UK Graduate Careers Survey 2001) making our estimated readership almost 16,000 per week.
