Transnational Institute Department of Economics at SOAS, University of London Department of Economics The study of Economics at SOAS started in 1962, as a section in the newly established Department of Economic and Political Studies. The Department was divided in October 1990, when the Department of Economics was formed. Since then it has grown significantly in size and it presently includes 18 academic members of staff and 3 teaching fellows, in addition to research staff and computing staff. The Department of Economics is one of the country's leading departments specialising in the economics of development and growth. The Department of Economics' strengths are recognised internationally and, as a consequence, it has received large amounts of funding for its teaching and research activities from a number of international organisations.
