HESA 2017 – graduates in work or further study within six months of graduation
I wanted to gain relevant work experience as this will provide an advantage over others in future graduate applications . In my placement , I ’ m not only learning about economics in a completely new light , but also data analysis and statistics , as well as access to learn other disciplines too .
This has given me industry knowledge and experience in economics , allowing me to be better informed on what aspects employers find most appealing in applications . I have also become more confident with economics in general , now having a greater understanding of concepts that are put into action in public policy , which I can apply in my third year .
