What is The Tab?

The Tab has something for every student, from students; from breaking news to covering fun features, there are so many opportunities for anyone who chooses to write for us.

From Cambridge to Birmingham, every uni city has a Tab, and The Tab Edinburgh is one of the biggest. We posses over 22k followers on Instagram as well as student readers – an ideal way to get your work out there.

Recent stories include reporting on Shia LaBeouf ‘squaring up’ to Edinburgh local after night out in Cowgate or alternatively the royal mile being taken over for the Netflix adaptation of Frankenstein.

Our recent features include an updated Edinburgh Uni lore dump and Edinburgh’s best student deals.
