Our undergraduate programmes are grounded in research-based education, informed by the outstanding research of our economics professors and our Centre for Teaching and Learning Economics (CTaLE) which is at the forefront of new, innovative techniques to teach economics which are directly reflected in the Department’s teaching.

At UCL Economics, we’re looking for students who are curious about economics and how it applies to the wider world around them. Graduates from our programmes are prepared to ask the right questions and find the answers by yourself, equipping you for a range of careers and further study in Economics.

The Economist's Society

You'll automatically join the official Department society when you become a UCL Economics student. They take an active role in organising both academic and social events and conferences. Past speakers include Mark Carney, Lars Peter Hansen and Vicky Price. Follow them on Instagram.

The Economic Tribune

The Economic Tribune is the official UCL Economics Magazine. With every aspect of writing, editing and design carried out by students, it is a reflection of innovative excellence fostered by the University’s Economics Department. Originally named the Drayton Tribune, our magazine was founded by two enthusiastic economists (Pablo Pena Corrales and Dennis Dinkelmeyer) at the end of the 2012-2013 academic year. Our team is committed to providing a forum for students to discuss ideas as well as providing the widr UCL community with a window into cutting edge economic research. Find out more and get involved.

Joint Degrees

We also offer a number of joint degrees which are run by other departments.
