Economics & Finance (ages 15-18)

Explore fundamental topics such as microeconomics, macroeconomics, investment analysis and financial markets. You’ll apply what you’ve learned to real-world case studies, and you’ll gain the theoretical understanding and practical skills you need to pursue further study in Economics.

During this course, you will:

  • Examine different types of economic systems and market structures and analyse their relative strengths and weaknesses
  • Explore the factors that determine the health of the economy and the interplay between governments and markets
  • Learn how to analyse the risks, return and value of investment opportunities

At the end of the course, you’ll receive a Certificate of Achievement and a personalised Letter of Recommendation.

Socials

One of the best things about our Online Summer School is how diverse our student body is: over 2,500 students from 80 nationalities have joined!

While you'll mostly spend time with the students who are studying the same programme as you - getting to know them in group activities, breakout rooms, and teamwork - you'll also get to meet students from other programmes during our weekly Socials.

The video Socials are a chance for you to get to know other students over a game, a quiz or a group activity run by our team. These events are informal, relaxed, and friendly - come along to take a break from academic study and make friends from around the world!

Graduation

Attend an online Graduation event at the end of your programme to celebrate your achievements with your family members, friends, teachers, and fellow students. 

If you'd like, you can volunteer to speak about your experiences on the programme with the rest of the group - the perfect way to take stock of what you've achieved.

We'll send you the recording of the event so that you can look back on it in the future, or share it with any family members who weren't able to join live.
