The Cambridge Student, commonly known as TCS, is the younger of Cambridge University's student newspapers (Varsity is the other). The newspaper is owned and published by the Cambridge University Students' Union (CUSU) but is editorially independent.

The paper was founded in October 1999 and has since continued to produce a weekly print run of 10,000 copies during university term time. The paper boasts several Guardian Student Media Awards, and has recently interviewed public figures including United Nations Weapons Inspector Hans Blix, director Ridley Scott and politician Ian Paisley. TCS was the first newspaper to break the story of the threatened closure of Cambridge's architecture department, which later featured in the national press.
