Candidate for the position of Vice President Education
Vote for Aman: He will give you Wiiiings!!
Hi, I’m Amandeep Chahar, a second year Aerospace student and I would love to be your VP-Education. You may know me as student rep-Aerospace 2nd year where I gained valuable experience about how to bring changes to education quality at the university. Through years of work experience in MNC’s, I have gained quality of team work and encompassment of good communication skills. I will endeavour to bring all the valuable experience already gained and channel it into this role.
If elected as VP-Education my priority will be to tackle the issues that matter to all students, including:
Ø Timetable: It’s very important that the timetable works efficiently for students. The University criticises poor attendance at lectures, but as you can relate to it, when your lectures split into few hour portions across days it’s only normal for attendance to drop. I want to review the timetable policies, conducting an initiative where the timetable for courses is organized in such a way that minimizes wasted hours and works for all.
Ø Exam and Course Feedback: Working as student Rep, I came to notice about a common problem among students. Most of us faces the problem of getting insufficient feedback on coursework and exams. If elected, I will work on this issue and ensure there are higher standards for giving feedback in every form: online through Blackboard, online course work submission, and personal.
Ø Mental Health: mental health is just like physical health, everybody has it and we need to take care of it. Although we have a good support to deal with mental health issues, but I believe it’s not reaching to everyone who needs it. If elected, I want to work on this issue to make it easily available to every needy student. Ø Workshops for International students: being International student myself I faced many challenges to start living in UK. Therefore, I want to organise more workshops for international students to make them aware about life in UK, so that they don’t face any challenges ahead. I will make sure that I will be available most of the time for such issues.
Ø Religious festivals: I want to work with all religious societies from different countries to celebrate festivals and make everyone feel at home.
