How are subscriptions to The Economist used in our courses?
Our programmes come with a complimentary, three-month digital subscription to The Economist. Discover how to access the subscription and how it benefits participants
Ambitious professionals need to stay up-to-date with current affairs. At Economist Education we not only design our courses together with senior editors at The Economist; we also understand the importance of giving our learners access to relevant news and analysis. That is why we include a three-month digital subscription to our journalism with each course place, allowing participants to consume articles, videos and podcasts from our archive. To explain how to access a subscription and how it will enrich your experience of a course, we have answered these frequently asked questions.

After enrolling on a course, how can I access my subscription?
By purchasing an Economist Education course you will receive a free, three-month digital subscription to The Economist. During the programme’s orientation week you will be asked to complete a form. You will then receive an email, within two-to-three business days, providing instructions on how to set up your new account on economist.com. If you do not receive the email, or encounter any other problems, a student success adviser will be available to help you.
How does a subscription to
The Economist
complement a course?
Some of our programmes, such as those on international relations or artificial intelligence, explore the forces shaping our world. A subscription to The Economist illuminates the impact of those trends in areas ranging from geopolitics to technology and the climate. Participants on our business-writing or data-visualisation courses, meanwhile, can see how The Economist embodies the skills we teach in its use of words and numbers to tell compelling stories.
Am I required to engage with
The Economist
’s journalism to pass the course?
We often refer to material from The Economist within courses, especially in our recommendations of further reading. Like the exercises and case studies in our programmes, further reading has been curated to help you learn and to provide you with resources to complete your assignments successfully. You don’t have to consume this content in order to pass the course, but doing so will give you the best chance of gaining new knowledge and being able to apply new skills.
