Programme
We are delighted to be partnering with Education in Action to host a series of subject-focused academic events on campus during 2026/27 for GCSE, A level, IB and BTEC students.
Join us this autumn for a dynamic, thought-provoking day at Economics in Action! Through engaging discussions, interactive sessions, and real-world case studies, students will uncover the forces shaping our world—from microeconomics to global markets.
Our inspiring speakers—including industry leaders, top academics, and policymakers—will share cutting-edge insights and real-world experiences, bringing economics to life like never before.
A special exam success session will equip students with expert strategies to boost confidence and performance. With live polls, quizzes, and plenty of chances to engage with speakers, this is far more than just a lecture—it’s an experience!
