‘The Irish Times’ unveils new third-level student service

Are you furious about college fees? Frustrated trying to find affordable accommodation? Worried about getting a job?

Today The Irish Times launches the Student Hub, a website intended to be the primary online resource for third-level students in Ireland.

Student Hub will carry news relating to on-campus developments and issues facing students today, as well as developments on the arts, music, health and political fronts.

The aim of the Student Hub is to provide students – no matter what institution they attend – with an opportunity to engage with each other and to stay informed of what’s going on in each other’s colleges.

Upon registration, students will qualify, free of charge, for a full Irish Times digital subscription.

From the newspaper’s award-winning journalism to valuable archive material stretching back over 150 years, the digital subscription will give students full access to all content on Ireland’s leading news website.

Student subscribers will also be eligible to enter the Cash For College competition offering the opportunity to win €250 every weekday until the end of term.

Free to download

The Irish Times Breaking News App is free to download as part of the subscription, giving students the opportunity to keep up to date with the latest happenings in Ireland and across the globe.

The Student Hub is inviting submissions from contributors about all aspects of student life. Articles can be written in English or as Gaeilge. Free student registration will be available at irishtimes.com/student-hub/ from this afternoon. Article suggestions can be sent to studenthub@irishtimes.com
