Biological Sciences (UG): Year Two Academic Representative

As an international student from Bahrain, where representation can be limited, I know how crucial it is to have your voice heard. I'm running for Academic Representative to ensure that the diverse needs of all students are met and everyone feels included in our academic community.

Through my leadership roles in initiatives like Model United Nations and Charity Debate, I've built strong communication, teamwork, and advocacy skills. I'm passionate about fostering an academic environment that values and supports every student's growth.

Why I'm Running

My mission is to serve as our cohort's robust and reliable representative. I'll address issues such as workload concerns, exam preparation, and access to resources while working closely with faculty to create a more supportive academic experience for everyone.

My Key Objectives

  • Strengthen Communication: Establish more effective feedback channels, such as surveys, forums, and drop-in sessions, ensuring students stay updated on important academic matters.
  • Expand Support: Advocate for more academic resources, including study groups, revision sessions, and faster, more constructive feedback from faculty.
  • Champion Inclusivity: Ensure all students, regardless of their background, are represented and that diverse learning styles are accommodated.
  • Student-Led Initiatives: Promote peer-led mentorship, career workshops, and collaborative study opportunities, fostering a strong support community.
