What careers are suitable for Economics graduates?
Graduates entering employment move into a wide range of careers, including management, banking, finance, foreign exchange, the civil service and international organisations such as the World Bank. The Department’s Economics and Finance Society and the UCL Careers Service provide help and advice with finding suitable employment. Contacts with prospective employers, applications and interviews mainly take place during the final year. About one-third of the Department’s graduates move directly to further study, including Master’s degrees in economics and related fields, MBA programmes and conversion courses in computer science or law. A minority of these take their studies to the PhD level, involving original research at a high level. The staff in the Department are well-placed to advise interested students of the types of graduate programmes available both in the UK and abroad and to provide details of likely entry requirements and possible sources of funding.
