On Thursday morning, I officially graduated from the University of Leicester. It was a day that I knew would be special, but I really couldn’t’ve imagined just how amazing it would feel. To hear your name called and get to walk across the stage in front of all your fellow graduates, friends, professors, and […]

Two weeks ago I emailed the Economics Department asking when our exam results would be released. They promptly replied telling me that I could expect my results to arrive at the end of June. Fast forward a few days to the 23rd of June (definitely not the end of the month), I landed back in […]

As exam season makes its way back round, the David Wilson Library is getting more and more packed by the day. I love studying in the library as I feel it’s where I’m most productive and achieve the best revision. However, when it starts to get to the point where you have to […]

In my last blog post I talked about all of the ways you can use your student status to save some money here and there, but why is this? The theory behind student discounts (or any kind of of discounts for that matter) is a pretty simple one as far as economic theory goes. […]

As another January exam season comes to a close, I feel like it’s important to address an issue that is sometimes neglected, and that is ‘dealing with disappointment’. One of the absolute worst feelings in the world is coming out of exam that you were hoping/expecting or needed to go well, and feeling like […]

As an Economics student, I am often asked ‘as an Economist, what do you think about..?’. This question feels me with dread because, even though I’ve studied Economics for the past 5 three years, I still feel like I have no idea what I’m talking about when it comes to discussing current affairs from […]

Price discrimination is one of my favourite theories in economics. I first learnt it way back during A Levels, but it has reappeared many times, both in my course and in life (yep, sometimes what you learn in class actually does help you in real life).

Hi, I’m Becky and I will be the Economics blogger for the duration of the next academic year. I am going into my third and (possibly) final year at the University of Leicester, meaning that this is the first year that I have been able to pick my own modules. Not all courses are like […]
