Improve your writing / photography / interviewing / editing / website / design skills.

There’s so much to learn and improve on. Come and speak to us today.

In case you haven’t guessed already, Spine is the new breeding ground for pictures of cute animals (excuse the pun).

Meet your new best bud.

We’re a friendly bunch at SCAN, honestly.

Find your niche.

Not sure what to write about? Then write about EVERYTHING – sport, fashion, music, books, politics, food, travelling, how much you love SCAN (hint hint), or why life would be better if you were prime minister… Anything goes.

You can get a real taste of journalism.

SCAN is the only place at Lancaster to practise your journo skills. Whether it’s writing, interviewing or editing, come and find out whether the media is for you.

Nobody socialises better than us.

Fact

You can build a portfolio to impress anyone.

Who needs to worry about interviews? Employers will be begging to have you on their team as soon as you show off how many wonderful articles you’ve had published in SCAN or on our brand new website.

You could get a SCAN hoody.

Who doesn’t want to snuggle up in bed with a hoody on telling the world how brilliant you are?

There's more to it than just writing.

If writing isn’t for you, SCAN gives you the opportunity to take hi-tech photos, be a design guru, get stuck into marketing and publicity or even help to design the website.

Instead of moaning on Twitter about the government’s latest gaff or why nobody likes Keane anymore (seriously, why are Keane no longer popular?), get a pen, laptop, iPad or whatever else you have to hand and get yourself in print.
