Dean's Address

Today’s graduates are embarking on exciting careers in a changing world full of opportunity.

When you graduate, I want you to have the knowledge, skills, mindset and confidence to continue learning and adapting as your career develops. To see and create opportunities, as well as adapt to the changing environment and meet the challenges that you’ll face.

Today, you can embark on the next stage of your career with the UNSW Business Society, the largest society at UNSW and an official 2022 Affiliated Partner Society of the UNSW Business School. This Careers Guide was created by students, for students, as a valuable go-to guide to assist you in your career decisions – whether you’re looking to upskill, network more effectively or find the ideal internship.

UNSW Business School, one of the leading business schools in the Asia-Pacific, places a strong emphasis on creating a career-focused learning experience for our students. This means you’ll have opportunities such as mentoring and overseas work placements, in addition to developing the problem solving, technical and collaborative skills required in today’s ever changing and connected workplace.

As well as this guide, you have the support of many other UNSW Business School resources and initiatives, including Career Accelerator @ UNSW Business School’s suite of offerings. Maximise your potential by engaging with Career Accelerator’s newsletters and MS Teams Channel, which will keep your finger on the pulse of each Term’s opportunities from internships to industry events.

And of course, get involved with more of our UNSW Business School affiliated clubs and societies -there’s something for everyone! This year, we have 26 societies within our learning community – all of which offer career experiences, upskilling workshops and opportunities to tap into their extensive Alumni networks and great contacts for you as you embark on your own career.

We are very proud of the Business School’s 100,000+ alumni who have achieved great success in their diverse career paths – as entrepreneurs, business and community leaders or academics. One thing they have in common is their desire and ability to make a difference. This guide is designed to make a difference to your learning journey so you can make a difference in your career.

Now is the time to explore your career potential and launch your path to success.
