One of my priorities is to improve the communication between the schools and the students. During my time at university, I found that the relationship between the schools and students was lacking. I believe that having better communication between the students and staff will allow learning to be enhanced and make students excel in their studies. I plan to make sure that there is enough guidance on how to tackle exams and the permitted calculators/rules that must be followed.

In addition, I want to make all lectures more interactive by having the lecturers engage with the students more and not just reading off the PowerPoint slides.

Lastly, I want to provide better personal tutors for students in which they can be trained to sign post students to the right department regarding their needs and provide better support such as tips on academic related stuff or careers. They should also be paired up with students that have similar course background. 

My final priority is to provide more support for students being affected by the cost-of-living crisis happening currently. I will explore the current funding options we have and see if more money can be put into these options.

In addition, I want to provide more accessible scholarships and bursaries that have lower and better eligibility criteria’s so more students can apply. These students include those who are estranged, have low household income, caring responsibilities, working multiple jobs to keep up with bills etc and others that are affected by the crisis.
