Academic Affairs Officer
The Academic Affairs Officer is a primary contact for all students who are experiencing issues with their studies. Although professional support is always available through the Students’ Union Advice Service, it is often helpful to have a fellow student on hand to make the initial introduction.
The Academic Affairs Officer also helps organise and run campaigns and devise policy that addresses teaching and other academic issues.
With the help of the Faculty Reps and Vice President the Academic Affairs Officer also oversees the running of the Academic Affairs Forum, an open meeting held at least twice a term where any and all students can bring their problems, views and help direct Students’ Union activities to best represent the needs of our student membership.
