BA Politics and Economics
I’m passionate about understanding how politics and economics shape the world around us, which inspired me to pursue a BA in Politics and Economics at the University of Reading. Studying A-level Economics sparked my interest in policy-making and its real-world impacts, driving my ambition to work in a political advisory firm. I’m excited by the idea of bridging public and private sectors to tackle key challenges and create meaningful change. Through my degree and extracurricular activities, I’m developing the analytical and communication skills needed to influence decisions and contribute to solutions that make a difference in society.
