We are website and print magazine written by and for university students in the UK. We also provide them training, guidance and opportunities to develop - such as interviewing personalities, running their own campaign on a theme (e.g. male mental health currently running!), get press passes and review art exhibitions, films, albums and much more! Our Junior Section Editors and Assistant Section Editors are working with us part-time and, with our guidance, are given the chance to develop their section and their contributors. We work with students from all over the UK to publish the best news, opinions and features. Not only this, but we've also helped our student writers to secure proper jobs in the real world, with some of our writers going on to work for The Times, MTV, The Guardian or the NME. Key figures
