Conversations with ESSA

Grab a cup of tea and sit down with a new ESSA podcast! Talking about all things economics, student life and careers.
Our first series "Student Cycles" focuses on the lifecycle (or business cycle if you will) of an economics student: why choose economics, what to get involved in during uni, how to ace internships, and what it's like working as a grad in the field.
