Please direct any enquiries about the application to the Varsity Society President, Fergal Jeffreys, at president@varsity.co.uk. If you have questions about the role, please direct them to the Easter Editors, Hannah Gillott & Erik Olsson at editor@varsity.co.uk.

Applications for other roles on the Michaelmas 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!
