In a nutshell

The National Student (TNS) is the national voice of students.

Getting a job in the media is a hard slog, and making that slog a little easier is what we at TNS are all about! And we do a good job! People who have got involved with TNS now sit at desks at the BBC, NME, the Guardian and one is a newly published author.

We are part of Big Choice Group, who with 10 years of media experience, work with cool brands like Smirnoff, Superdry, McDonalds, Orange, Red Bull, boohoo, BBC and Microsoft. TNS gets to work with them too - which we like!

TNS just keeps getting BIGGER, and we are looking for two talented Campus Editors (one News and one Sport) on each university campus.

What do TNS Campus Editors get?
We want our people to get the most out of working with TNS, and that doesn't just mean media-experience! Journalists get some pretty cool perks, and at TNS that is no different. So what do you get for working for us?
- All successful editors will get a yearly trip to Beach Break Live festival
- Monthly performance incentives - You do the job for us, we give you stuff! These can include CDs, DVDs, books, clothing, crates of Relentless and other freebies.

- TNS editors will get to do some exciting things:
