University of Leicester Economics Society Information

The University of Leicester Economics Society is a popular society which is open to all students regardless of course studied. It is run by students for the benefit of students. The Society aims to foster and further the interest in economics throughout the University and to provide for the social, careers, intellectual and sports interests of its members. Throughout the academic year we hold highly popular social events and gatherings ranging from bar crawls to Christmas/ post-exam parties and meals which this year will be sponsored by Revolution. We also enter both a football and netball side every year which takes part in the University Intramural League and Cups, both of which have had varying levels of success. The society will also be inviting a variety of companies and special guest speakers to run workshops and make presentations. These events aim to make members aware of the different opportunities available to them, give information about what prospective employers are looking for and improve skills to make members more employable. Examples of past academic events include special skills session on; Commercial Awareness, Negotiation Skills, Leadership Skills, Business Games, CV and application forms and Teamwork and Presentation Skills.
