UNSW Business Society

To enrich the university life of all students in the Universty of New South Wales Australian School of Business by fostering an active community and providing opportunities for personal and professional development.

Business Society is the representative body for UNSW students studying an undergraduate degree at the Australian School of Business. Our member base of over 5,000 students is the largest of all societies within the university, representing a substantial talent pool which continues to swell the ranks of global business leaders each year.

BSOC's fundamental aim is to enhance student employability through professional development programs that motivates, challenges and creates opportunities for students and to establish a rich support network for students fostering their personal development.

President's Welcome

University is a challenging experience for not the very least, a fresh-faced teen with little to no experience of the ‘real world’. From the security blanket of high school to a breeding ground of ideas, culture and social development, it isn’t the easiest transition.

Having discovered the UNSW Business Society (BSOC for short) through friends in older years, I signed up to the Peer Mentoring Program. My peer mentor was also a student who had already experienced the walk of ‘uni life’ and was here to help us discover what we wanted from ours. Having been then encouraged to be involved in such programs as the Industry Mentoring Program, you realise there is much to be learnt outside sitting in packed first-year subject lecture halls besides how to use uniwide to go on Facebook. One notion stands firmly in my mind: you don’t end up where you are by chance – people evolve and grow to be where they are now and in the future.

We here in BSOC aim to foster a sense of community within one of the top undergraduate business schools in Australia by nurturing the highest achieving young minds. Management of the UNSW Business Society is done by fellow experienced student executives. Being an ASB Faculty backed Constituent Society, we represent not only the accounting and finance students that predominately populate the course, but also marketing, economics, international business, management and actuarial studies. We are an umbrella society for anything and everything offered by the ASB.

For 2011, we are looking to consolidate on the success of our Professional Development Program by improving our Industry Mentoring Program and Skills Workshops as well as implementing our new BBQ series to help foster a sense of community as well as bring to you the very best opportunities to network informally with industry and company. And of course, we will continue to provide you with our Orientation Camp, Cruise, Dance Party and Annual Ball to make sure you know how to let your hair down. We believe that by enriching your experience through careers, education, social and sports events, we are able to deliver and embrace a culture of professional development, personal accomplishment and social networking.

So go wild and make your mark on UNSW!
Eugene Siu
President 2011
