Write for us: Become a QS Student Writer

If you're a keen writer and would be interested in sharing your business school experience with students around the world, sign up to become a QS Student Writer today.

QS Student Writers write about student life at their school, helping others learn more about what it's really like to study there and sharing their experiences - from the admissions process right up to graduation.

We’re looking to hear from MBA and business students from all around the world. 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 business school 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:

• Experiences of studying online
• Networking experiences and advice
• Recent modules covered on their MBA program
• GMAT/GRE advice
• Career guidance and tips
• Study abroad experiences

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.
