In years gone by third-year students would fund their final fling through University with bar work or a ‘job on the bins’ — not so for the class of 2012.

More than 50 male and female current students have signed up to an innovative new business model which offers them a share of the limelight.

Model Students gathers intelligent, attractive and confident young people with an interest in working in the modelling industry. It’s the brainchild of Nottingham University Business School graduate Anna Gray (Management Studies), once a model herself. The idea came out of her entrepreneurship module.

“When I was in my final year I knew I wanted to set up my own company. I had worked as a model during my time at university so it seemed like a logical step as it was an industry I had experience in,” said Anna.

Most of the models are students from Nottingham’s two universities but applications are welcomed from other young people. They can earn anything up to £100 a day and have so far graced catwalks and completed adverts, video production work and music videos for the likes of Ted Baker, Debenhams, Bench and Boots.

“Model Students represents models who are not just attractive but healthy, bright and great communicators. In short everything you could want to represent a brand or company.”
