U.E.S. Services and Resources
The U.N.E. Economics Society (UES) offers a wide range of services to it's members and the wider community.These include:
Academic Support: The Society is filled with students who have survived first year and beyond. The likelihood is if you're having trouble with a subject a senior member of the Society has been there and can help you succeed in your studies. One of the Mentoring Officers are the first to contact.
Careers Services: The UES provides members with information regarding current career opportunities within the field of economics. Many employers wanting garduates for the next year close applications early in the year before. When do they close? We'll keep you posted.
Community: The UNE Economics Society is committed to forming beneficial relationships within the wider community. If you're a local organisation or business interested in enlisting the help of the society please don't hesistate to contact us.
Dedicated Economics Library: One of the hallmarks of a successful student is their ability to draw information from multiple sources. Whether you're doing an assignment, just researching out of personal interest or searching for possible honours thesis topics the UNE Economics Society library is likely to have something in stock that fits your need.
Networking Opportunities: The initial purpose of this Society was to link together those students who were studying particular subjects together in a more social environment. Since 2006, many of these students have graduated and now hold positions at Commonwealth Treasury, Department of Finance and Deregulation, Commonwealth Bank and Australian Bureau of Agriculture and Resource Economics. Quite often it's not what you know, but who you know that can count.
Online Discussion Group: The UNE Economics Society offers all members access to our online discussion group, where members can interact with others who are passionate about the field of economics. This also provides students with the latest and update information for the UES.
Proof Reading Service: Got an assignment you'd like read over? Well as a member you have access to the UES proof reading service, for a borad range of units offered in the Economics Business and Law Building. The UNE Economics Society strictly adheres to the plagiarism and academic misconduct policies of the University of New England. Again, one of the Mentoring Officers are the first to contact.
DISCLAIMER: We will require up to 14 days to process and proof-read assignments.
Representation and Student Support: The UES is dedicated to ensuring the quality of teaching of Economics and provides students with a voice. Combined with the small campus, and the length of time our members have been at UNE means we can help sort out issues through the most effective methods. We also acts as a referral service for students in need of advocacy.
Social Events: The UNE Economics Society recognises that your are not all only hear to study, there needs to be opportunities where you can relax and socialise with your peers. As a result, the UES organises social events and functions throughout the year, which have included Trivia Nights, Free BBQ's and our renowned Cocktail Parties.
Unit and Course Information: Again, with members who have been at UNE longer than a degree should take, we can provide you with recommendations to customise your degree to suit you. Which units are most applicable? Which lecturer classes should you always attend? We have your back.
