For undergraduate Economics programs at London School of Economics and Political Science and National University of Singapore, the most valuable extracurriculars are those that show genuine interest in economics, analytical thinking, and quantitative skills rather than unrelated certificate collection. Strong activities include economics research projects, essay competitions, debate or Model UN, internships, economics or finance clubs, policy discussions, entrepreneurship, data analysis or coding projects, economics blogs or newsletters, and online courses in economics, statistics, or programming. Both universities value students who explore economics beyond the classroom through meaningful and sustained engagement, especially through research, real-world problem solving, and intellectually driven projects.
