"Hi, I’m Sasha and I’m your Vice President Academic Affairs for 2012-13. I’m here to ensure the University provides you with best education possible by being in constant contact with the University’s key Education staff members.

As a Russell Group University – as a Research-led University – it’s important that the University is continuously researching not just across the academic spectrum – but researching itself as well. As result, you now have the opportunity to have your say on what you think about your University experience – just go to your […]
Almost a year on from the “Demolition” marches of last year – SUSU peacefully marched again in protest against the cuts and changes being made to Higher Education by the Coalition Government. Having sent a coach of SUSU students to London, who joined up with thousands of other protesters, students and workers from all over […]
Student representation is a core element of your University experience; without the student voice influencing University decisions, many of the decisions made would not be with the students’ best interests at heart – meaning a lot of what the University provided would not be relevant to you. Overall, the University here at Southampton is very […]
