Faculty of Economics, University of Cambridge

The Faculty of Economics at Cambridge has roots going back to the 1890s.  Though frequently marked in the past by fervent internal academic debate, over theory, ontological approach and methodological orientation, the cumulative contribution of Cambridge economics to the development and evolution of the discipline nationally and internationally has been profound and unique.  The Cambridge Faculty of Economics has repeatedly attracted international recognition and distinction by spawning some of the leading economics thinkers and paradigm changers of the times, including, for example, Alfred Marshall, John Maynard Keynes, Joan Robinson, Richard Kahn, James Meade, Nicholas Kaldor, James Mirrlees, and Partha Dasgupta.  The Faculty can boast several Nobel Prize winners over the past century.

The Faculty has major teaching programmes at both undergraduate and postgraduate level and has one of largest groups of research-active economists of any British university.
