Economists have been flourishing in Cambridge University for a long time. Robert Malthus, active 200 years ago, was described by Keynes as 'the first of the Cambridge economists'. But it was in 1903 that the Professor of Political Economy, Alfred Marshall succeeded in establishing what was to become the Economics Tripos as an undergraduate degree course and thereby established the Faculty of Economics and Politics.
The Faculty of Economics is not open to the public.
