If you're a keen writer and would be interested in sharing your university experience with students around the world, sign up to become a QS Student Writer today.
QS Student Writers write about student life at their university, helping others learn more about what it's really like to study at their university and sharing their experiences - from nights out to cramming for exams, starting university to graduation.
We’re looking to hear from students all around the world, across a range of different subject areas. So, wherever you’re from, wherever you’re studying and whatever your interests, please get in touch.
What do QS Student Writers write about?
We want to hear first-hand about your university experiences. Whatever you’re interested in, we’d love to hear about it.
Articles should be fun, engaging and based on your own personal experiences or areas of interest.
Topics covered by QS Student Writers in the past have included:
Whatever you write is ultimately down to you. After your application to be a QS Student Writer has been approved, you'll have the chance to discuss ideas with one of our editorial team. Feel free to pitch anything you think would be interesting for our student audience.
After you have agreed an idea with our team, you're free to start writing. There are no deadlines or firm commitments - just send us your article once it's finished.
Please don't send us any articles before an idea has been agreed with our editors, as we can't guarantee we'll be able to publish them.
Why should I sign up?
As well as all the above, becoming a QS Student Writer provides you with a fantastic opportunity to develop your writing and have your work read by a global audience of millions.
Former QS Student Writer Jessica-Lee Cole says: “I really enjoyed writing for Top Universities. When I contacted the site to see if they were accepting writing submissions, I was looking to develop my writing skills and build a bit of a portfolio of work.
"I was so thrilled to find out that not only would they be happy to have me write for them, they would also pay me. £30 goes a long way as a student!”
Am I eligible?
In order to be accepted as a QS Student Writer, you must be studying at either undergraduate or postgraduate level, either within your own country or abroad. You will be asked to provide proof of academic enrolment, ideally by using a university email address.
