About Us
The Finance & Economics Society is focused on developing students’ understanding of financial markets, economics, and the practical application of theory to real-world business and investment decisions.
The society aims to support students interested in careers across banking, asset management, trading, consulting, and related fields by providing exposure to market concepts, industry insights, and employability skills not always covered in academic courses.
A key part of the society is bringing together like-minded individuals with a shared interest in finance, creating opportunities to meet peers who are motivated, career-focused, and interested in developing practical skills in a professional environment.
Through speaker events, skills workshops, market discussions, and hands-on sessions, members gain exposure to areas such as financial markets, investment decision-making, and the practical use of digital platforms and tools used to analyse and operate investments.
The society bridges the gap between university study and the professional finance environment, helping members build commercial awareness, analytical thinking, and confidence when engaging with financial concepts.
Membership is open to students from all degree backgrounds, regardless of prior experience, with the aim of encouraging strong technical foundations, networking, and long-term career development.
