MSc Boat Party

On Friday 10th June, students celebrated the end of their examinations by setting sail along the Thames on board the Pride of London, for the MSc boat party. Around 150 students, staff and alumni attended the party, and did not allow the occasional drop of rain to dampen their spirits, as they took in the famous landmarks of London, including the Houses of Parliament, The London Eye, Tower Bridge and The Dome whilst eating, drinking and dancing the night away.

Student team is victorious in Economics Football Championship Final 2011

Congratulations to the 2nd year undergraduate student team who beat the staff team in the final of the Economics Football Championship last Wednesday.

A good game was played by both sides, and the staff team's hopes were raised by the 5-5 equaliser by Student Support Manager Andrew Keegan, but the students emerged victorious yet again.

Over £100 was raised for Great Ormond street, so well done all players!

Economics Society update

‘New Year, New Look’. If the Economics Society had a motto, that would be word perfect. The New Year has provided us with a timely opportunity to enhance our society with a fresh look, in particular revamping our logo, alongside a completely new set of colours. Very soon, committee members will be modelling our impressive hoodies for this academic year. Keep an eye and ear out, as we’ll be taking orders in the upcoming weeks. Last semester, the society held several popular events, both social and career-orientated; this semester won’t be any different.
