JOSUÉ MANKOTO

Overview & goals

After spending five years as a student at London Met, I have witnessed what works well and where improvements are needed. Since university is where we build our future, I believe that it should be a place where we grow, we connect with great people, and feel supported and protected.

Every student deserves the right support, real career preparation and better access to career opportunities. 

This is what I envision, a London Met where students are graduated with confidence, they are competitive, well-prepared and ready for success. That’s why I’m running for London Met Student Union President — to make this vision a reality.

To achieve this, student need a higher quality of academic life and stronger support systems that empower them to be more productive, effective, and ready to transform our society in the future. Therefore, I have identified five key areas for improvement to make this happen.

  • Career Development & Opportunities Creation
  • Affordability
  • Student Legal Support
  • Extracurricular Activities & support
  • Student wellbeing improvement
