The University of Nottingham's Official Student Magazine

Get involved

Any student at The University of Nottingham/member of the Students’ Union can contribute to the magazine and website. We have a wide range of sections and roles, so whatever you’re interested in, you can work with us. No previous experience is needed, so even if you haven’t done anything like this before, you can get involved. Working for Impact has plenty of benefits and we won’t expect you to show up every week unless you’re elected to be an editor. Remember, we’re students too, so we know what it’s like when deadlines approach!

We have weekly meetings during term-time where you can meet with our editors and get commissioned there and then. Even if you aren’t sure what you’d like to write about, meetings are a great place to throw ideas around and pick up inspiration for your next article. Here are the meeting times for all of our sections:

News – Tuesday, 12pm-1am

Sport – Monday, 2pm-3pm

Features – Wednesday, 1pm-2pm

Images & Design – Monday, 3pm-4pm

Film & Television – Monday, 12pm-1pm

Style – Wednesday, 12pm-1pm

Travel – Monday, 11am-12pm

Arts – Thursday, 1pm-2pm

Music – Tuesday, 3pm-4pm

Science – Wednesday, 2pm-3pm

Food – Monday, 3pm-4pm

All meetings take place in the Impact office (Portland Building C Floor, opposite the ‘SU Hub’ and next to the hairdressers).

To receive information about meetings, socials and other opportunities to get involved, you can sign up to our mailing list .

Don’t worry if you cannot attend, or if you miss a meeting – you don’t need to come to the meetings to write for Impact! Just get in contact with the section(s) you’re looking to write for, and our editors will be happy to help.
