Econpals Of Edinburgh University

EconPALS is a Peer Assisted Learning Scheme at the University of Edinburgh. Available to first-year economics students, we have the aims of providing insight into the Economics 1 course, as well as expanding engagement with economics through events outside of the classroom, and easing the difficult transition to university life (both academic and otherwise) through creating a community within the subject and helping students connect.

We run five weekly hour-and-a-half sessions, where leaders (economics students from older years) will help first-years with material throughout the course, whilst sharing their own experience and advice. Beyond the curriculum, EconPALS leads large delegations to various economics conferences in the UK, puts on socials, connects lecturers with students through exclusive video-tutorials on material, and much more; expect to see us at many events, some less economics-related than others!

Stay tuned to this page to find out more about what's to come this year (starting in Welcome Week! )
