A MessAGE from the president
Hello and Welcome to the Economics and Finance Society!
I'm Haoyu, your President for the year, and I'm thrilled you're considering becoming part of UCL's largest student society. Here at EFS, we bring you the ideal blend of academic insight, career growth, and yes, a social calendar that'll keep your university life as lively as the stock market on a volatile day.
Our society is a bit like a versatile portfolio—diverse, well-balanced, and constantly offering returns on your investment. Whether you're a first-year student puzzled by the maze of career options or a seasoned senior, we have something for you. Mentorship programmes and workshops will give you a solid footing in the industry, while our high-profile speakers will provide you with unparalleled insights into the world of economics, finance, and business.
But what's learning without a little fun, right? We hold events that offer more than just free snacks and a cozy venue.
These gatherings are your ticket to building a professional network while still enjoying the student life you're meant to have. And yes, we've become quite adept at taking this experience online, so you're always plugged into the community, even from the comfort of your dorm room.
So why not join us? Gain the tools, the insights, and the connections to navigate the multifaceted worlds of economics and finance. While we won't be able to turn you into the Wolf of Wall Street overnight, you will find the right head start with us in your career. Plus, you'll get to be a part of some genuinely unforgettable events (within the boundaries of responsible drinking, of course).
Hope to see you soon,
Best regards,
Haoyu Wang
President, UCL Economics and Finance Society
