Have you ever wondered if your experience of university is the same as other economics students? Or are you simply nosey and what to see how other people feel their studies are going?
So why did you choose to study economics?
Bob Denham from the University of Bristol asked a range of students from both the University of the West of England and the University of Bristol why they chose to study economics. This short film reveals the varied, and often witty, answers.
Student Diaries
We have asked economics students from different institutions to write a termly diary on their economics learning experience. These diaries include a range of students from undergraduate first years to postgraduate second years, different universities, degree combinations and experiences. Our latest diary writers are Bethan, Nihar and Tim, to see their latest diary entries go to Why Study Economics. Rachel Harrison's entries from 2005/6 also come highly recommended.
Expectation versus reality?
Now you are studying towards your economics degree, how do the expectations you had match up with the reality? Some economics students have already let us know what they think on the why study economics site. If you would like to share your experiences please let us know.
