Your chance to continue the debate.

The Department of Economics hosted its first Question Time event on campus in September 2013, providing University of Warwick students and staff with the opportunity to engage with politicians, policy makers and academics. It was a huge success, with many demands made for follow-up events.

Students' Question Time will allow students to debate on some of the topics raised from our Question Time event, which is being held on Monday 29 September 2014.
