Established in 1942, Varsity has grown into a creative and multimedia developmental agency. New content is published on our website on a regular basis. A retrospective print edition is published every semester. Varsity's online presence spans various social media platforms, including Instagram, Twitter/X, and LinkedIn.

Varsity highlights issues affecting the UCT community and strives to represent the student voice accurately. It has become the go-to news source for students who want on-the-ground reporting. Our sections span current affairs, arts and entertainment, sport, fashion, campus life, and research and innovation.

Members of the Varsity collective are all UCT students who have chosen to be part of the team on a voluntary basis. Student writers are encouraged to contribute articles regularly or on an ad hoc basis. Students can also apply to be Section Editors at the beginning of each year. In addition to writing and editing, Varsity team members can gain experience in photography, design, social media management, marketing, finance, and operations.
