Make your learning experience work for you!

Vote Alexander for EPS School MP!

I'm Alexander, I have been your Academic Executive for the last year. I am highly experienced in the Academic side of the Union and working with the University. I have overseen many improvements and advancements for the Student Learning Experience and have run multiple initiatives focusing on this. I have 3 years of experience working in this type of role and am heavily focused on better flexibility in learning for our students. I have spoken at a conference to representatives from all Scottish Universities and sit as Vice-Chair on the committee for improving technology in learning. This means I have nationally and internally recognised expertise and confidence in this type of role. I am entirely student-oriented and constantly focus on the needs of my peers, highlighting issues at all levels of the University. Every issue I am running on, I have already been working on for a year. Help me continue fighting for this for YOU!
