Student recruitment
This guide has suggestions for
- The design of open days, conferences and other events for school students studying economics and/or thinking of studying economics at university. These could be held in a university, in a conference building or in schools themselves.
- Activities and games that can be played at such events, including downloadable materials.
- Statistics on A level and Scottish Higher Economics and Business Studies, and on students studying economics at university.
In conjunction with the Royal Economic Society, we have created a site for prospective students, WhyStudyEconomics.ac.uk . Consider making a link from your own department's site.
