Whilst I have been an international officer for the past 2 years, I have improved the experience of international students by creating awareness of the university services. For example, employability within the university as well as academic support provided by the university. I also created awareness for the advice services provided by the student’s union, which is designed to help individuals with difficulties in a variety of academic related problems. Furthermore, I have created the international Heathrow welcoming project, which has not been done in the past. This service makes sure that international students arriving at the university are welcomed and guided about the university. I have represented the university in the international student’s conference held by the national union of students (NUS). In order to make sure that the concerns of our international students are heard at a national level. Getting solutions from different universities, facing similar problems enabled us to create benefits for our international students, such as issues with post study visas in the NUS. I have also been invited to attend the Parliament by UKCISA (Who deal with tier 4 visa), having a say on a national level. In this program 40 universities have been chosen out of a total of 200. I was one of 40 students from different universities who discussed how European Students can be helped with their current situation
