An attempt is made to explain the variations in the light curve of VW Cep in terms of a starspot model. Based upon Kwee's (1966) observations, an unperturbed light curve without spots is constructed and analysed for the geometrical elements of VW Cep. Then, by assuming that starspots exist on the surface of the primary component, Kwee's individual light curves are further analysed for locations and intensities of the starspots.
