Economics, Finance and Data Science

The Imperial College Business School's Sutton Trust Summer School for the Economics, Finance, and Data Science undergraduate programme immerses students in a unique exploration of the dynamic intersection between economics, finance and cutting-edge data science methodologies. You'll engage in hands-on activities, workshops, and real-world case studies, gaining practical insights into the intersection of economics, finance and data-driven decision-making. The summer school aims to showcase the programme's emphasis on equipping students with the analytical tools to navigate complex financial landscapes and contribute to data-informed policy solutions. By fostering a collaborative learning atmosphere, this summer school offers a taste of the vibrant academic community at Imperial College, where aspiring economists and data scientists can explore their passions and chart a course towards a future in the forefront of global economic challenges.

Alongside academics, you’ll participate in information sessions preparing you for the transition to university, including student finance and student life Q&As. These insights will help you make informed decisions about university and prepare for a smooth transition when you get there.

The evenings will include team-building activities and opportunities to explore different aspects of student life, including an off-site trip and a celebratory meal on the final evening. And whilst we can’t fully replicate the independence of a university experience, you’ll get a taste of what it’s like to be a university student, helping you feel more confident and prepared for your future at a top institution.

After your summer school, we’ll provide transition support through an online event, personal statement support, and optional interview practice if you get an interview offer from Imperial.
