The University Network for Investing and Trading (UNIT) is the largest investing and trading society in Australia, with over 11,000 student members nationally. In recent years, we have branched out from just investing and trading and now cover all areas of finance.
We strive to provide our community of students and members with a practical financial toolkit. This is through educational seminars, professional opportunities with our sponsors, and national competitions across all participating universities. Whether you are only a novice or already have a detailed understanding of finance and trading, we believe that with UNIT, you can continue to grow your knowledge whilst forming valuable professional connections in the industry.
Membership is free for most of our participating universities, and students from any academic background are welcome to join. With membership, you will receive fortnightly newsletters and regular updates about our events when you like us on Facebook.

Pathways To Finance
Interested in a career in finance but unsure which pathway is right for you?
Curious about how professionals have built careers across banking, investing, advisory, and beyond.
UNIT UNSW and Capital W are excited to present, ‘Pathways to Finance 2026.’
Through an exclusive panel discussion and networking, this event is designed to provide students interested in pursuing a career in finance with a clearer understanding of the diverse career opportunities available within the industry.
Gain first-hand insights from industry professionals at leading firms as they share their own personal journeys into finance, reflect on the experiences that shaped their careers and offer advice for students looking to navigate an increasingly competitive industry.
Following the panel, attendees will have the opportunity to connect directly with firm representatives and ask tailored questions in smaller group discussions through three rounds of structured roundtable networking.
Whether you’re still exploring your options within the finance industry or already set on a particular career path, this is an opportunity you won’t want to miss!
Sponsor firms in attendance will be revealed closer to event date.
