Extracurricular Events
Events to reward and recognise your hard work
We organise a whole host of social events and activities for you to get involved with during that allow you to socialise with classmates, academics and staff from within the Department in a more social environment.
Socials
We think it’s important to provide you with
opportunities to relax and get to know both your
peers and tutors outside the classroom. Recent socials have included a quiz night for our first and second year students, Undergraduate Mentor Scheme awards, a welcome reception for new students and a traditional British afternoon tea for our finalists.
360 Lecture Series
The 360 Lecture Series brings leading figures from the Public and Private Sector to discuss and debate topical issues with students and staff from across the University.
The series provides an excellent opportunity for students to engage with policy makers, practitioners and influential decison-makers; who apply the knowledge and insights generated as an economics student to their day-to-day lives.
Graduation
At the end of your studies, you deserve a great send off and we hold our own graduation ceremonies that allow you to celebrate with family, friends, classmates and academics.
As well as the graduation ceremony itself, we also organise an evening drinks reception that allows you to celebrate your hard work and successes. This also includes a short presentation of awards to a number of students for outstanding work and achievement.
