Who We Are

The Economics and Finance Society (EFS) is the largest at UCL, providing students of all degree disciplines the ultimate university experience. From invaluable networking opportunities and career workshops, to hosting landmark events and unbeatable socials - when it comes to making the most out of university, we’ve got it covered!

Our reach, reputation, and initiatives on campus are unparalleled. Aiming to support the interests of our members and develop world-class talents at one of the best universities in the world, we set ourselves the highest standards in order to initiate innovative ideas to give our members an edge and valuable experience.

We pride ourselves on being a truly diverse society; with members coming from a wide range of interests, degrees, backgrounds, and nationalities, whilst also maintaining a strong gender balance. Our 64-year backed professionalism has enabled us to build strong relationships between our sponsors and our members – both current students and alumni.

Each year our divisions regularly host a variety of events to cater to your every interest featuring keynote speakers, educational workshops, and famed socials. Our competitions and sponsored skills sessions make our members marketable to the largest firms in the industry, while our reputation attracts world leaders in Economics, Business, and Finance – from CEOs to Nobel Laureates – exposing our members to ground-breaking ideas across these fields. It is also impossible to talk about the EFS without bringing up our legendary social calendar. Our generous budget enables us to host unforgettable events all year round - from a premier Christmas Ball to a trip abroad!
