About the Department

THE UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD'S DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMICS IS HOME TO ONE OF THE LARGEST AND MOST DIVERSE GROUPS OF ACADEMIC ECONOMISTS 

 

The University of Oxford is home to one of the largest groups of academic economists in the world. The scale and breadth of our research with its pervasive impact on policy making, our large and vibrant early-career community, and internationally renowned undergraduate and graduate programmes make Oxford a globally recognised centre of excellence in the research and teaching of economics.  

As a Department we aim to produce transformative and innovative economic research; to have a sustained impact on economic policy outside academia; and to develop and train the next generation of researchers and research leaders. Our goal is always to create a stimulating, supportive and collaborative environment that allows researchers and research groups to pursue cutting-edge agendas. A priority is to achieve this in the context of a more inclusive and diverse department.
