Welcome to the official University of Birmingham Economics Society website
Birmingham's Economics Society (EconSoc) is a departmental student society, organising academic, career and social events throughout the year to not only enhance your university experience but also to help you think about the life beyond Birmingham.
With the emergence of a dynamic global economy, jobs are harder to secure and we try our best to help boost the employability of our members. As a result of this, many of our events have a career focus. We arrange presentations from recruiters to increase our members' awareness of opportunities and also to give you an opportunity to network with some of the world biggest employers. We also organise skills sessions to improve applications and interview style as well events designed to simulate what jobs are really like!
This year we are continuing to build strong relationships with top employers which will help give our members an edge in this difficult graduate market. We would also like to broaden our academic side and are currently developing a distinguished speaker lecture series to come and talk at the University.
Although the society can be very academic and career focussed, we do have a 'work hard-play hard' attitude and therefore our socials and sports are equally important too and will enable members to meet like-minded, ambitious individuals in a relaxed, enjoyable and informal environment.
