DISCLAIMER 1: This manifesto is not a CV. Being a good Year 1 Academic Representative isn’t about excelling academically. It’s about being someone you can count on to listen to your concerns, support you when the course turns into an uphill battle, and drive change so that this cohort succeeds as a whole. And that is who I aspire to become. DISCLAIMER 2: I cannot pass First Year for you. But I can promis ...
Hi, I’m Viren, standing to be your ME1 Academic Representative because I want our course to be demanding for one reason only: the engineering. We should solve engineering problems, not guess submission requirements, struggle to follow lectures, lack sufficient structured support or face deadline pileups. We are here to become better problem solvers and communicators. Academic representation should absolutely b ...

Hi guys! My name is Shrey, but people like to call me Mr.Worldwide. I have roots in 4 countries (have a guess, and let me know when you see me) and have travelled to 44 countries and counting. Outside lectures, I like to run and play football. I've always been an Arsenal fan❤️, so like my fellow gooners, I'm trained in patience and handling pressure. I also love watching Formula 1. I'm a Lewis Hamilton and Ferrari fa ...
I keep my eye on the doughnut and not on the hole. I am not the most cracked guy you will meet on the course, but I am fairly organised with all of the things going on. I attend as many events as I can, keep on top of my homework and of course I dedicate some time for going out. That makes me a very average first-year, but it also means I am at the top of the normal distribution curve, i.e. the perfect Academic Rep: ...
Hi, I’m Koby. I’m running for first-year Mech Eng rep. My goal is to make sure the academic experience is as smooth as possible for our cohort, and that any issues get properly raised rather than sitting around unaddressed. Before each committee meeting, I’ll send round a short form so anyone can flag issues without needing to track me down. Whether that is a module that doesn’t make sense, ...
