Advert TypeDimensions (mm)Cost
  1. Rates shown are Run of Paper (ROP) but full page advertisements will face editorial and other sizes will either face editorial or have editorial on the same page, ie. there is no premium for facing editorial.
  2. However, to guarantee being the only advertisement on the page, advertisers may wish to consider Solus postions.
  3. Solus rates are ROP plus 15% position premium.
  4. Fixed positions / consecutive ads / spreads are subject to 15% position premium.
  5. All prices exclude VAT which will be added at the rate in force at the time of publication.
  6. For the avoidance of doubt, Varsity Publications Ltd does not pay agency commission unless agreed in advance, prices quoted are therefore both Gross and Net prices.
