Your Students’ Union

When I first arrived in the UK as an international student to begin my MSc in Logistics and Supply Chain Management, I knew I wanted to get involved and give something back to my course community. Early in the term, I submitted an application describing who I was and what I hoped to achieve if elected as an Academic Representative. A week later, I received the email confirming I had been elected, a moment I remember as both exciting and slightly daunting, since I would be the sole representative for a cohort of 52 students from across the world. 

The OIA are the Office of the Independent Adjudicator for Higher Education. They are an independent body who exist to help students resolve complaints fairly and independently when things have gone wrong.
