Careers in Economics Event - Enhancing Your Potential
Over the past few years we have found that students from Warwick’s Economics Department have highly valued the opportunity to meet with employers and former students of the Department to explore the range of economics related careers.
For the 2022-23 academic year, we will be hosting a series of events covering a range of topics. We hope that you take this opportunity to learn about working in various sectors, the skills that employers value in economics graduates and find out more about how to apply for the positions that they offer in their companies.
