A team of Upper Sixth students have just launched this year’s edition of the Trinity Economic Review, renamed Trinity Times for one year only with a format inspired by The Times.

The magazine was created by the executive members of the Economics and Business SocietyAiden, Bella, Seb, Tristan, and Harry – and is a culmination of months of hard work. It features a range of scholarly articles exploring current economic issues, as well as interviews with Trinity alumni who share their academic and professional journeys.

Upper Sixth student Aiden is President of the Economics Society and led the editorial team. He said, “The most challenging part I think was gathering articles to put in the issue, the final count was eight articles and I really enjoyed reading through each of them and learning about the broad effects economics has across the world. Gathering articles, writing the magazine, and formatting the pages were split between the Economics Society executive team with the addition of Harry who also contributed a significant amount. Teamwork was rocky at the start but smoothed out as time progressed!

“This year we decided to change the style from previous issues, instead replicating The Times newspaper, and renaming it Trinity Times. We placed heavier emphasis on work from the student body as we wanted to let Trinity economists shine. Core skills such as communication, teamwork and time management were developed as we made the issue. Other skills shown by many of our sixth formers were qualitative and quantitative analysis in the articles written as well as critical evaluation towards sources. Near the end of the magazine, we have the Trinity Pathways, where we interviewed alumni with career pathways in the economics and business sector. I hope this section helps students understand the possibilities within this field and inspire them to find their own passion.
“Economics for me has always been enjoyable. My family work in finance and I’ve been studying economics since GCSEs, therefore I will likely continue down this pathway. Being Economics Society President has been a lot of work, however it’s enjoyable and deepens your passion for the subject as you interact with smarter and more experienced people through interviews, chairing talks, and economical discussion. I would like to continue in some form of economics society or club in higher education.”
Well done to all students involved, the full magazine is available to read here.
