Welcome to the University of Sydney Business School!

My name is Julian Raja and I am the president of the Sydney University Business Society (SUBS), the official faculty society for the Business School.

Starting university can feel like a lot - new people, routines, and a seemingly endless list of things to figure out. It’s exciting, but also a little daunting. I remember feeling a complex combination of emotions within my first few weeks, wondering how to find my feet and navigate the inevitability feeling of future uncertainty. The good news? You don’t have to do it alone.

SUBS is here to help you make the most of your time at uni - whether that means making new friends, building your professional network, or just having a great time along the way. Personally, SUBS was pivotal in easing my nerves about the future. SUBS is more than just a society run by Business School students, we are a community of support, growth, and development.

SUBS offers something everyone needs - balance! We are the epicentre of forming lifelong relationships through our First Year Camp, welcome drinks, annual cruise, end of semester parties, pub crawls and our annual Business Ball. Come along and make friendships that you will carry into the future.

Not only social, SUBS allows you to start your professional career and drive scholarly achievement through our professional networking events such as High Achiever’s Breakfast, Happy Hour Hustle, firm-specific events, workshops, and mentoring programs. Notably, our impressive and long-lasting sponsorship relationships with top global investment banks, consulting firms, technology companies, FMCG companies and marketing firms presents limitless opportunities and connections.

For the athletes or those wanting a break from study, SUBS runs interfaculty sports every Wednesday, where you can represent the Business School and go head-to-head against the law, arts, engineering, and science faculties.

Uni is what you make of it. The people who get the most out of their time here are the ones who put themselves out there - joining societies, trying new things, and stepping outside their comfort zones. You don’t have to have everything figured out from day one, but the more you get involved, the more doors will open for you.

So, take chances, back yourself, and enjoy the ride. SUBS is here to support you every step of the way, and we can’t wait to welcome you into the community
‍Here’s to an incredible 2025!
