Why vote for James?

Hi,  

My name is James, a placement year engineering student going into fourth year, and I am running to be your Engineering and Physical Sciences Faculty Officer for 2026/27. 

As your faculty officer I will be your senior representative, and so I will be representing your views to the heads of faculty and the sabbatical officers. I am passionate about improving the lives and experiences of students at the university, I will always be happy to help, and I’ll always do my best to ensure your interests are the highest priority. 

As your faculty officer, I pledge to: 

  1. Ensure feedback from engineers and scientists is listened to and acted on. 
  2. Organise and promote industrial and career opportunities. 
  3. Support relevant societies with their social and career events (especially smaller subject specific societies)

I have been a student rep since 2022 and have experience as a course rep, department president and student councillor - so I have the experience to ensure your voices are heard and more importantly - that things happen afterwards. 

Vote for me to become your next faculty officer; ensure your interests are safe and your voice is heard 

James
