As a student you would provide support to professional
economists dealing with a range of issues affecting Government
policy.
We
offer two types of placements at present:
- 12
month sandwich student placements; and
- 6-12
week summer vacation placements
To
be eligible for either of these placements, students must be
a UK national, Commonwealth citizen or a member of the
European Economic Area (EEA); and, be studying for a degree in
economics or, if it is a joint degree, economics must comprise
at least 50% of the total course, or doing a Masters degree in
economics.
Due to the nature of the work, the placements are not
open to first year undergraduates.
