Hi, I'm Angus, your SU President for the 26/27 Academic year.
After a very exciting year as Sport Officer, I am incredibly pleased to be returning to represent the SU in a much broader capacity.
The SU is in a period of immense change; in governance, student voice and democracy to name a few. As such many of my priorities are aligned with these pieces of work; my aim being to make sure these aspects of our organisation represent students through and through.
Alongside my fellow officers, I hope to continue the campaign against the cost-of-living crisis; to ensure student life is both affordable and rewarding.
To add a bit about me; I graduated from the University of Bath with a master’s in electronic engineering and in my spare time I play American Football for the Bristol Aztecs, as well as having a passion for board games, country walks and a good pub.
