Applications to be the Editor of Varsity in Easter Term are now open.

This is your opportunity to take the lead at Cambridge’s only independent student newspaper, shedding light on the student experience and keeping the Cambridge community informed at a time of change and uncertainty.

You will manage a team producing online content throughout the term and be responsible for producing our Varsity Review & Yearbook, a circa 60 page A4 glossy magazine, which will be published on 10th June 2022.

Applications can be made solo or as a pair. Though previous experience at Varsity is not required for the role, it is usually expected of applicants. All students who are passionate about journalism, and have creative direction for the new magazine, coupled with an eye for layout and design are encouraged to apply.

More instructions for how to apply can be found here. The deadline for applications is 12pm on Friday 4th March 2022. Interviews will be taking place on the morning of Wednesday 9th March 2022.

Please direct any enquiries about the application to the Varsity Society President, Emaan Ullah, at president@varsity.co.uk. If you have questions about the role, please direct them to the Lent Editors, Bethan Moss & Emaan Ullah at editor@varsity.co.uk.

Applications for other roles on the Easter team will open once the Editor has been appointed.

Support Varsity

Varsity is the independent newspaper for the University of Cambridge, established in its current form in 1947. In order to maintain our editorial independence, our print newspaper and news website receives no funding from the University of Cambridge or its constituent Colleges.

We are therefore almost entirely reliant on advertising for funding and we expect to have a tough few months and years ahead.

In spite of this situation, we are going to look at inventive ways to look at serving our readership with digital content and of course in print too!

Therefore we are asking our readers, if they wish, to make a donation from as little as £1, to help with our running costs. Many thanks, we hope you can help!
