About Us

Founded in 1949, the Economics and Commerce Students’ Society proudly represents over 6,000 of UWA’s Business School students as the official faculty society. For over 75 years, we have been embedded in Western Australia’s business landscape, with vibrant community engagement and a strong network across industry and of alumni.

As the official Faculty Society for the UWA Business School, we seek to enrich the student experiences of our members during their tertiary studies, ensuring the 5,700+ UWA Business School students receive more than a degree.

Our Mission

ECOMS exists to enrich the student experience of UWA Business School students by providing professional, academic, and social opportunities that help members develop beyond the classroom and build meaningful connections with industry and their peers.

Our goal to deliver our students with more than a degree is reflected in our three core principles:

• Ensuring Business School students have a high-quality education

• Providing students with exciting, and fulfilling university experiences

• Assisting students in their professional development, as they embark on their career pathway
