New Scientist Subscription

Pansapiens

Thank you! Exactly what I needed, and you saved me £17 (the best I'd found elsewhere was £99) - I did it by phone, quoting the special offer code you specified, as I couldn't find my way there on their website (being an existing subscriber, w my sub about to run out - this was a lot better than any renewal rate I could find).

Thanks again!

Link in post #7 still works fine, so still 50% off (£82) for year! Thanks!

Anyone here read the New Scientist Magazine? Would you recommend it?

Everyone at our house reads New Scientist and we love it - especially Civil Engineer hubby and middle daughter who wants to do Medicine at Uni in a couple of years. Good value if you can get it on a 50% off deal and it's helped my eldest daughter have a clue about what she can do with a science degree.:j

What day is it delivered weekly? I am wanting to do medicine too!!:j
Tell your daughter that Student BMJ online is good as well, all their online content is free, although you can subscribe for £45 or something to get it delivered. But I am sure NS is still more intriguing.

The NS magazine is quite thin for it's price, but its good value on sub

You've probably found this out already, but FWIW the magazine is meant to arrive on Thursdays in the post (although mine usually arrives on Fridays).

I subscribed for something like £215 for three years but that is ending this July. I can't remember what the deal was but I guess it would've been 50% off or thereabouts. I'll be happy to renew for three more on the same basis but who knows what the offers will be in a few months.

I'm not a scientist, just an interested layman, but I enjoy reading about what's going on in the world of research. Some of the longer articles are also quite good and go in to some depth.

I'd say the job ads are about 1/4 to 1/3 (never really counted the pages!) but much less than half.

Tried this link today 15/7/10 and it does not work any more.
However, if you change the 4316 to 4599, you can take out a student subscription (obviously only if you are a student!) for £82

The tip in the previous post works, but if you use the following link you can get a student subscription for £82:

www . student-subscription-service . co . uk / magazine-new-scientist.asp

Sorry it isn't an active link - apparently I can't post links yet as I'm 'new user'.

There are lots of other mags on there too. I haven't read the fine print but it seems legit to me!
