Economics Summer School (In-Person)

The study of Economics is absolutely vital for understanding the world around us, and we have some fascinating options both for those trying the subject for the first time and for those looking to deepen their understanding.

The global economy is at an uncertain point at present, with strong inflationary pressures, and steeply rising costs of living. Many countries also have very high levels of public debt, as governments worldwide grapple with the financial legacy of extensive covid support measures for businesses and health systems. In the longer term, the spectre of catastrophic damage from climate change haunts all of our present day economic choices and strategies.

All of these can seem like daunting or even intractable problems but a good working knowledge of economics can help us to understand how policymakers across the world try to navigate these difficult waters, and allows us to try to analyse and predict the likely consequences of their choices and how the costs and benefits will fall on different groups within society.

This Summer School will give students aged 15-18 the opportunity to study a range of economics which is wider than that available at school and in a style which encourages active and critical engagement.

For 2023, our in-person Economics Summer School will look at a variety of contemporary topics, from sustainable development to crisis management, examining both theory and policy. The emphasis throughout will be on active and critical engagement with the material, offering students the opportunity to develop a more informed perspective on current affairs and a solid foundation for further study.

See a detailed schedule for this course.

The Summer School is ideal for any student considering a degree in economics or a related discipline, a career in finance, or who would like to understand more about the powerful economic forces which drive the world around them.
