Join Varsity’s video, photography and design teams in Michaelmas
Varsity is opening applications for video, photography and web design. Join the team.

Make a video. Take a picture. Start a conversation.
Next term, Varsity’s digital team is set to ramp things up. In video, we’ll be creating a wide breadth of content ranging from high-quality news videojournalism to fun, shorter videos, to in-depth documentaries.
You’ll see a new emphasis on photojournalism, giving photographers more opportunities to experiment, create photo stories, and shape the paper’s visual presence.
We’re also seeking a team of web developers to up our digital design. As Varsity grows online, we need a team ready to raise the bar of our digital presence. You’ll learn the ins and outs of designing and creating our website, reaching tens of thousands of readers every month.
It’s an exciting time to join Varsity as we look to revolutionise our video, photography and web design. You can be a part of the team shaping that change.
