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!”
