Manifesto
My Pledges and Updates
- Keeping track of student concerns I will maintain a clear record of issues raised by postgraduates, track progress, and ensure students know when concerns have been addressed.
- Open-door policy & feedback channels I will hold open sessions, run online forums, and create simple feedback tools so your ideas directly shape SU priorities.
- Commemorative days on mental health I will work with the SU and University to introduce events that recognise and raise awareness of mental health.
- Stronger faculty–student communication I will advocate for clearer updates on academic expectations, funding opportunities, and career development pathways.
- Tackling postgraduate isolation I will ensure more postgraduate-focused social, cultural, and networking opportunities to help students build meaningful connections.
- Support for underrepresented groups I will strengthen support networks for international students, student parents, and part-time students, ensuring everyone has a voice and community.
- Financial support & transparency I will campaign for better financial support and clearer communication on funding, so no student is left struggling.
- Fairer international student recruitment I will work with international recruitment teams to ensure processes are smoother, clearer, and more transparent for prospective students.
- Postgraduate-focused mental health support I will push for mental health services tailored to postgraduate needs—addressing stress, research pressures, and imposter syndrome. I will advocate for quicker access to counselling, peer-support programs, and workshops designed to meet the unique challenges of postgraduate study.
- Modernising professional development I will advocate for departmental-level postgraduate professional development that includes training in modern skills, AI, and future career pathways.
- Improving PGR–supervisor relationships I will work towards strengthening the support and communication between postgraduate research students and their supervisors.
