Next up we're taking an in-depth look at the role of the Academic Affairs Officer who ensures representation of students on matters relating to academic affairs including the interests of international and postgraduate students.
You will also look at key topics relating to higher education including widening participation, assessment and feedback or teaching and learning. You will have regular contact with Academic and Institute Representatives whether in person, by email or on social media to better understand students views and needs.
Working with staff you will help to coordinate a range of events, activities and campaigns designed to engage students in and improve their academic experience. Some examples of these include chairing the Academic Zone, reviewing Academic Rep Training, organising AberSU Teaching Awards, searching for a University Challenge team and most importantly lobbying the University to change things that you think are important to students.
Finally, you’ll have a key role in the University’s management structures sitting on various committees and meeting with key individuals and relevant departments to further the academic experience.
