I have been invited to a timetabling project board and plan to make sure students are prioritised - July 2018
A new timetabling system should be in place in for next academic year (19/20). What specifically will improve for students is still to be decided, but I hope to prioritise everything in my manifesto - July 2018
The timetabling project is still on track to launch next academic year - Dec 2018

Improved study space

I am continuing the work from last year on study space. A mobile app should hopefully be launched in term 2 of the next academic year and it should continue to improve when the timetabling project is complete - Aug 2018
I have been kept involved in the testing of the University map app which is still due to be launched in January, so keep your eyes peeled! The app should keep developing, with more features added to the app next academic year - Dec 2018
University app has been launched, which shows you where study space is, can give you directions, and tells you how full it is. Search "UoB Campus Map" in iOS/Android app stores to find it - Jan 2019

Personal tutoring is being reviewed by the University this year, and I am keen to make sure students can get the most out of their meetings - July 2018
I have been heavily involved in rewriting the Code of Practice on Personal Tutoring which should have some stricter guidelines to make sure you get the most out of meetings with your tutor. There was lots of discussion around the name, so we asked students and student reps and passed on these views - Dec 2018
I should hopefully be involved in the writing of a guidance document for students about personal tutoring, so you have a better idea of what to expect from your tutor and from meetings. The guidance doc should be published by next academic year - Dec 2018
