Ryan Gonsai, Assumptions Frep

"The first term of being a JE has been an amazing experience both academically and socially. The privilege to write about a topic I am intrigued by for the university economics magazine has helped develop both my analytical judgement and editorial skills. Speaking on the ‘Assumptions Podcast’ was a unique opportunity and has been the academic highlight of my time at university. Being the largest division, there is a real sense of community which we have built through division dinners and other team socials. I would definitely recommend this position to anyone who wants to broaden their economic horizons or just meet new people!"

Amelia Lewis, Assumptions Frep

"Taking on the role of Junior Editor has been such a learning experience for me. It has allowed me to meet new people, try new things, and explore topics I otherwise wouldn't get to discuss as someone who doesn't study Economics. Having my work published in the magazine is such a rewarding experience, and being a part of the podcast is such a unique and fun

opportunity. Having the freedom to research and share my knowledge about a topic I'm interested in, such as my recent article about the Danish pharmaceutical company Novo Nordisk, is so fulfilling and has helped me build confidence in my writing and research skills. "

Mani Vijay, Assumptions Frep

“Being a Junior Editor has been an extremely fulfilling opportunity thus far. Having the chance to delve deeper into the varying depths of economics has enabled me to continue to learn and develop my critical thinking, whilst also refining my research and writing skills. The role has allowed me to express my views in a much more coherent and well-structured manner. Working as part of the Assumptions team has been exceedingly enjoyable - the team fosters a collaborative and supportive environment with a real feel-good factor, contributing to high quality output and a genuinely enjoyable experience.”
