Apologies if this has been posted already.

Students can register online for discount vouchers enabling the Times to be purchased for 25 pence.

I applied over a month ago, and a booklet finally arrived today. They let me buy the paper mon - fri for the discounted rate. A pretty good deal really, although I hope it doesn't take as long for the next batch to come through the letter box. (I believe they only send out about a twenty at a time)
I don't have a NUS card as I am on a one year foundation course, but they do not seem to actually check you are bona fide student)

How many in a booklet? (vouchers I mean)

I got two sheets, each with ten vouchers. The letter says students are entitled to a maximum of 15 sets of vouchers per academic year, so I guess that's enough for either 30 or 60 weeks of newspapers, depending on what they mean by a set. I suspect a set is a sheet of 10 vouchers, giving 30 weeks of discounts per year.

I wish the Independent were as generous, but I'm quite happy to read the Times.

You really had me hooked when you said it was 60 weeks of papers a year....damn, no I'm not so sure.
