About Varsity

Independent, Established, Trusted

Unlike most student publications, Varsity is an independent newspaper unaffiliated to the student union - a status that, along with our quality and history, means that Varsity is Cambridge's most established and trusted news source. But despite the newspaper’s independence, we are privileged to hold strong ties to the University as an establishment.

Varsity is owned and operated by Varsity Publications Ltd, a not-for-profit company devoted to the encouragement of student journalism. Every year Varsity awards prizes from The Varsity Trust to enable Cambridge's most talented journalists to develop their careers through postgraduate study. Varsity Publications also publishes a series of supplements and sister publications, including the renowned 'The Mays' anthologies and BlueSci Magazine in association with Cambridge University Science Productions.

Week in and week out, our team of dedicated student journalists continues to produce one of the world's most renowned and respected student newspapers in a matter of days. As Varsity approaches its sixtieth year in print and tenth year online, our team - and our reputation - continues to grow and grow as we look forward to an equally successful future.
