Business Society
The central hub for business at Southampton. We connect students from all faculties with real-world projects, high-impact career events, and an ambitious cross-campus community.

Welcome to the Business Society!
This year marks our historic 10th Anniversary, and we are relaunching with our most ambitious programme ever. Whether you're in the Business School or any other faculty, BUSSOC is your home for enterprise, innovation, and career development.
Our vision is built on three key pillars for 2025/26:
- High-Impact Career Events: We provide direct access to the skills and people that will help you land top placements and graduate roles. From our "How to Land a Top Placement" panel with returning students to exclusive workshops with our corporate partners, our events are designed to give you a competitive edge.
- A Flagship Innovation Competition: In partnership with the Engineering Society (SUES), we are running a major, semester-long competition in semster 2 where you will form a mock company to solve a real-world business challenge. This is a unique opportunity to gain practical experience in project management, strategy, and multidisciplinary teamwork.
- An Unforgettable Social Calendar: We believe the best connections are made when you're having fun. From our exclusive 10th Anniversary Christmas Ball to pub crawls, mixers, and non-alcoholic socials, we're bringing the community together.
