We are delighted to announce that the PPE Staff Student Liaison Committee won ‘SSLC of the year’ at the Student Voice and Impact Awards last week.

The awards aim to recognise and celebrate students who advocate and create change for the student experience. Warwick SU praised the PPE SSLC for the work they consistently do to represent the voices of students, especially those of joint honours students, despite the additional challenges they have faced this year due to the pandemic. The Students Union recognised how incredibly hard the SSLC have worked to maintain a strong online presence, which is down to the dedicated and passionate committee.

We are incredibly proud of the SSLC and all their hard work. Congratulations to everyone involved!

The University of Warwick Economics Department is this year’s host for the Royal Economic Society Annual Conference. The RES is one of the oldest economic associations in the world, founded in 1890 to promote the study of economic science.

On the 28th February, the team of Ashish Ramuni (PPE), Jeremy Chen (Economics), Greg Tucker (Economics) and Shermeen Saud (PPE) won The Economics Debate, organised by UCL and the Institute of Economic Affairs. Debating in favour of the motion that “Open borders do not add sufficient value to the economy” in the main chamber at City Hall in London, Warwick beat the UCL team in the Grand Final to remain champions for the second year in a row. The team impressed a panel of judges composing of Dr Steven Davies, Head of Education at the IEA, Dr Helen Jenkins, Managing Partner at Oxera, and Dr Douglas Lippoldt, Chief Trade Economist at HSBC.
