The new term brings fresh opportunities to get stuck in with student societies at the University of Bristol. Here’s what our economics-affiliated societies have in store for you this year.
They are the only society affiliated with the School of Economics, School of Accounting and Finance, and School of Management, representing the interests of over 2,000 highly motivated students studying a wide range of disciplines.
The society runs careers, networking, and speaker events for sponsor firms and charities, as well as a comprehensive parenting (peer support) scheme. They also regularly organise bar crawls and sports teams alongside international trips and their renowned Winter Ball.
