We are very lucky to work with vibrant and active student societies that are at the core of our student community. Economics Society With over 1200 members and 20+ events hosted every year, the Economics Society (EconSoc) is one of the largest student societies at University of Edinburgh. It includes EconWomen, EconSport, and Insight Magazine. The society aims to foster a supportive community of a diverse range of students, brought together by a shared interest in the social sciences. It creates academic opportunities and insight by hosting speakers, discussions and debates not otherwise available through the University. Looking to prepare its members for their careers, they provide information about, and experiment with, companies and industries related to their field of interest. You can connect with EconSoc on Instagram. EconWomen As a branch of EconSoc, EconWomen focuses on the representation of women in the economics sector. They have many events to get involved with to empower women to be proactive towards their future professional career. They also have a football team for anyone who likes sports or wants to take up a more active hobby. 180 Degrees Consulting 180 Degrees Consulting is the world’s largest university-based consultancy for non-profits and social enterprises.
