Frequently Asked Questions

Q1.
What is NUSSU Bizcom?
NUSSU Bizcom – NUS Students’ Union Business Committee – is the marketing wing of NUSSU. NUSSU Bizcom currently holds the ‘Best Standing Committee’ title. We garner sponsorships for the Union as well as organise many large-scale projects. We also bring you exciting discounts for your NUS Matriculation Card/Staff Card under our NUStyle scheme. To find out more – About Us

Q2.
Is Bizcom only for Business School students?
The common misconception is that Bizcom is affiliated with the NUS Business School or is meant for Business students only. Bizcom comes directly under NUS Students’ Union and is open to ALL NUS students regardless of your course of study, and is not part of the faculty club for the Business School.

Q3.
What are some of the projects undertaken by Bizcom?
Some of our signature projects include:

1. NUStyle – The NUS Matriculation/Staff Card Discount Scheme. We source for partners to provide discounts and deals for the NUS Community. All NUS Staff & Students get to enjoy these discounts by flashing their NUS Cards at our participating outlets.
2. Vanity Fair – Traditionally an event for the ladies! The day whereby we bring in reputable brands to offer their cosmetics and beauty products at huge bargains exclusively for NUS Staff & Students! Our previous Vanity Fair saw students queuing 1 hour before the event with the line snaking all the way from the Central Forum to the bus stop. Notable partners were M.A.C & Clinique.
3. Megasale – The sale worth waiting for! Anything other than cosmetics – apparel, shoes, watches, lingerie, you name it! We bring in reputable brands to offer their products at a steal! Previous events saw tie-ups between TANGS and Isetan, showcasing brands such as Nike, Adidas, Triumph, Guess and FOSSIL.
4. Bizcom Bash – While all our signature products are about discounts and sales, this one’s about partying and enjoying! An opportunity to party the night away with fellow like-minded individuals and friends! Previous bash was successfully held at Zouk.

Apart from those projects, we are also the official liaison for our Union Sponsors – Singtel & DBS.

Q4.
Is Bizcom all about work, marketing and sponsors?
Nope! We sure do know how to have fun as well! We organise camps, night cycling trips and outings, and just like any CCA, we know how to enjoy ourselves

Q5.
Hmmm… Ok but what if I am not interested in marketing?
Although Bizcom is the marketing wing of NUSSU, there are many other opportunities and experience you can gain from being part of Bizcom. You can learn about event management and organising projects among others. You can take up roles such as Project Director, or be part of the Publicity, Logistics or Programme Cells if marketing is not your cup of tea.

Q6.
What if I’m not really passionate about organising events & such? Or
Why should I join Bizcom?

Well, though some join Bizcom because of their passion, there are others who join for other reasons:

1. Friends – Many Bizcommers (both current and graduated) can testify that they make lifelong friendships in Bizcom. Join with your friends, and you can be sure to end your term at Bizcom with many more! This is a place where you will find more than just a bunch of enthusiastic and vibrant individuals.
2. Experience – You may not be interested or cut out for marketing but nonetheless, some still join to have a go at it. The experience that Bizcom offers you in marketing, publicity, leadership and those that come with organising massive projects is certainly invaluable.
3. Resume – Bizcom is an excellent place to build one’s resume. While many students tend to think about their resume and CV only in their senior years, it is usually too late to change things. In your senior years, you will definitely need to put more focus on your studies. Join Bizcom now, while you’re still a year 1 or 2 student, and you will have the experience of organising events that will certainly add value to your resume.

Q7.
Okay, but why Bizcom? I mean there are other CCAs that also offer me all that was mentioned in Q6.
The NUS Students’ Union (NUSSU) is a recognised name in the working world and is well known for its ability to truly equip its leaders with essential qualities and experience. As a Standing Committee under NUSSU, we certainly have the NUSSU branding if you wish to call it that =)
Yes, there are 13 Standing Committees under NUSSU BUT only ONE that carries the ‘Best Standing Committee’ title. The choice is yours =)
