QUT Economics and Finance Society
We believe that in today’s competitive climate, ability is nothing without opportunity. Our purpose is to give you that opportunity.
Big ideas, real impact.
Inspire
Few people know just what economics and finance is; fewer still are aware of the amazing opportunities the field presents. EFS seeks to inspire a love for economics and finance within its members; helping to establish a lifelong passion.
Inform
You won’t learn everything you need for business in a lecture hall; somethings can only be taught outside the classroom. EFS helps equip its members with critical knowledge needed for business success that the university won’t teach you. Our professional development workshops and industry seminars will teach you the skills needed to succeed in the business world.
Incorporate
They say only 20% of jobs are ever advertised, EFS can help find the jobs that aren’t. By attending EFS networking events, members gain the opportunity to build relationships with professionals in the field of economics and finance, graduate recruitment personnel, and even corporate leaders. The contacts you make at EFS may not get you a job; but they can certainly help get your foot in the door.
