FOR SU PRESIDENT 2026/27

“A President Who Listens. A Union That Delivers.”

My Vision for UWE

UWE is a diverse, ambitious, and rapidly growing community. As your SU President, I will work to build a Students’ Union that is supportive, fair and genuinely student‑led. My focus is on practical solutions, stronger representation, and improving everyday student life across all campuses.

1. Academic Success & Career Opportunities

Your degree is to empower,not to overwhelm.

• Advocate for fair assessments, flexible deadlines, and academic support for international and neurodiverse students.
• Expand mentorship networks connecting students with alumni and industry professionals.

2. Inclusion, Representation & Community

Every student should feel they belong at UWE.
• Celebrate diversity through cultural festivals, community events, and cultural networking.
• Establish a dedicated support hub for international students covering academics, visas, and integration.

3. Tackling the Cost of Living

No student should struggle to afford basic needs.
• Expand subsidised food options, affordable meal plans, and transport discounts.
• Advocate for extended tuition‑fee instalment plans to ease financial pressure.

4. Sustainability & Green Action

A greener UWE benefits everyone.

• Increase recycling points and reduce campus waste.
• Promote sustainable travel options and awareness campaigns.
• Support student‑led sustainability projects and workshops.

5. Safety & Student Life

University life should be safe, vibrant, and full of opportunities.

• Extend opening hours for key student spaces, especially during exam seasons.
• Improve campus safety with better lighting, security presence, and safe‑travel initiatives.
• Boost sports engagement with better marketing, casual tournaments, and inclusive fitness sessions.
