Economics Summer School (In-Person)
‘The master-economist must possess a rare combination of gifts …. He must be mathematician, historian, statesman, philosopher — in some degree. He must understand symbols and speak in words. He must contemplate the particular, in terms of the general, and touch abstract and concrete in the same flight of thought. He must study the present in the light of the past for the purposes of the future.’
John Maynard Keynes
Economics is often seen as a technical subject, but as Keynes’ words remind us, at its best, it is a dynamic and creative discipline – blending mathematics, history, and philosophy to shape our understanding of the world.
Whether we seek understanding and control over our everyday experiences, or a framework to analyse the causes and consequences of major geopolitical events, economics often holds the key. A solid grasp of economics is an invaluable tool – whether analyzing global trends, shaping public policy, or making informed personal and professional decisions.
Designed for students with prior study at GCSE or A Level, this course deepens your understanding of economics through real-world case studies, interactive simulations, and engaging discussions
Whether you plan to study economics at university or want to see how it connects with fields like politics and social sciences, this Summer School provides a strong foundation for future studies and career ambitions.
In 2025, the Summer School will tackle key economic challenges, from sustainable development to crisis management, combining theoretical analysis with practical policy discussions. The emphasis throughout will be on active and critical engagement with the material, so come prepared to have your say!
See a more detailed outline for this course.
Our tutors are selected for their ability to make complex economic ideas accessible and engaging. With strong academic backgrounds and a passion for teaching, they’ll challenge you to think critically and apply economic theory in innovative ways – see our tutors page for some example profiles.
Small class sizes ensure plenty of opportunities to contribute, debate ideas, and receive individual attention – while also connecting with like-minded peers who share your passion for economics.
The Economics Summer School is perfect for students exploring a degree in economics or related fields, those considering careers in finance, policy, or business, or anyone eager to understand the economic forces shaping our world.
