For over sixty years Varsity has been the independent newspaper for students of Cambridge University, providing a direct feed of essential news, analysis, comment and entertainment which – week in, week out – sees Varsity remain the most widely read news publication across the University.

84% of Cambridge finalists read Varsity (Source: UK Graduate Careers Survey 2001), making the estimated readership over 15,600 per week. 10,000 copies are delivered free each week to all 31 colleges in the University where students, staff and visitors have immediate access in mail rooms, common rooms, bars and social areas. Copies are also available in University faculties and departments as well as at selected local shops, cafés and other amenities.

Varsity is the ultimate reference guide for Cambridge students, providing innovative and inspiring content, features and up-to-the minute arts and entertainment listings whilst serving as an unbeatable reference for job application deadlines, recruitment events and career guidance.

Varsity is almost unique in being financially and editorially independent from university authorities and the Students’ Union, allowing their team of writers the opportunity to present an accurate, impartial and trusted picture of Cambridge life.
