The UCC Economics Society
The Economics Society has quickly become one of the most popular and active students societies on campus. This is not hard to imagine when there are close on 2,000 students taking economics in UCC.
The society's 15 member committee is elected from the students at the start of each academic year and meets once a week to discuss future social, academic and fundraising activities for all economics students to enjoy.
The UCC Economics Society is in existence for students of UCC who are studying, or simply have an interest in Economics. Our membership not only contains students studying Economics through Arts or Commerce, but also those interested in the subject from other disciplines.
In our current climate, Economics is one of the foremost topics of interest, and our society aims to capture the interest of students by hosting relevant, interesting events, with speakers that students will flock to listen to. However, its not all about the doom and gloom of the Economy – we’re always up for a bit of fun, as shown by our legendary social events. Last year, we got awarded the Runner Up prize for Best Society Event throughout the entire college social calendar, for our much acclaimed Chinese New Year celebration. As well as hosting feasts and fun cultural events, you can find us hosting table quizzes and “Class Wars”.
The Economics Society is there to serve you, as the students. We have plans for the year to not only stimulate your intellect but also to give you a good time! Last year, as well as the Chinese New Year, we also realised plans for an academic Conference held in UCC, a trip to London to an Economic Conference, numerous Speaker events and much, much more. This year we have many more plans- so keep an eye out for posters and emails advertising them, they are guaranteed to be great!
If you’re interested in taking part in the society, or what we are about, check us out on Facebook (University College Cork Economics Society) or email us at economics@uccsocieties.ie!

Looking forward to seeing you during the year!
