School of Business and Economics Student Council (SBESC) is a student representative of Universiti
Brunei Darussalamβs School of Business and Economics (UBDSBE), and it has been established since
2014 under the Persatuan Mahasiswa/i Universiti Brunei Darussalam (PMUBD)βs Executive of
Leadership and Innovation (ELI). It is an organization dedicated to serving our school in making a
positive impact within the community and developing leaders within the council. Our student council
also aimed at assisting new students to ease their transition from their college experience to life in the
campus. This council also liaises with lecturers in UBDSBE, provides assistance when necessary and
also focuses on organizing and managing events in accordance to UBDSBEβs mission.

Benefits of becoming SBESC member
Members would be exposed to activities, which require them to make quick and thoughtful decisions;
a skill critical towards becoming the leaders of tomorrow. Their involvement will also enhance their
interpersonal communication skills, as well as negotiation and leadership skills as there will be
constant interactions with their peers, faculty members and/or members of the community. Students
will also learn how to effectively manage their time, as they are required to balance studies and the
various activities held within the student body. Students involvement in this student-based council
should therefore be viewed as a platform, and as a starting point to enhance various skills, which are
essential in the real world, after graduating from the university.
