Economics

Careers events

The economics and management society runs careers events throughout the year with alumni and employees from industries such as consulting, investment banking, asset management and technology. In September we begin with our interns talk, where current students who have recently interned at a range of firms and institutions discuss their experiences applying, preparing for interviews and their times at the companies. The careers events are a great opportunity to get first-hand knowledge of a range of fields and companies, start networking with people and get advice for applications and interviews for highly competitive positions.

Speakers’ events

Throughout the year, the economics and management society runs a number of speakers events with leading figures from the economics profession, business and technology. The events are a great way to learn about a number of interesting topics and peoples experiences working in different institutions. During the past year, we have had highly informative discussions with speakers such as Professor Ricardo Reis of the LSE on inflation, Eleanor Dillon on her experiences being an economist at Microsoft, Professor Karen Dynan of Harvard on her experiences working in the US government and her thoughts on the US economy and many many more!

Socials

We run a wide range of social events throughout the year. From our welcome barbecue to our pub nights and our Business Ball, we have where students can make friends, relax and enjoy their St Andrews experience!
