About the taster day

Economics is the driving force behind all decisions that shape our society. From inflation and unemployment rates, to Brexit and the price of milk, economics is the study of changing human life.

You will have the opportunity to hear from some of our prominent University of Surrey academics who will introduce their subject and research through an interactive timetable.
