Undergraduate Business and Social Sciences Faculty Rep candidate

Anushka Rebecca Martin

What do you think is the number one priority for students in your faculty?

The biggest priority for business students is bridging the gap between academic learning and real-world industry expectations. Many students graduate with strong theoretical knowledge but struggle to apply it in practical settings due to a lack of hands-on business experience. While the faculty provides case studies and coursework, there are limited opportunities for live business projects, industry-led workshops, and structured experiential learning programs that mirror real-world challenges. This gap leaves students underprepared for employment, as companies seek candidates with practical skills beyond academics. Addressing this requires greater integration of industry collaborations, live business simulations, project-based learning, and more accessible internship opportunities within the curriculum. By ensuring students gain practical, real-world experience before graduating, we can significantly enhance their employability and confidence in professional settings.

How would you represent students in your faculty?

As Faculty Business Representative, I would advocate for increased industry collaboration and hands-on learning experiences within the business curriculum. I propose establishing a Faculty-Industry Advisory Board, where students, faculty, and industry professionals collaborate to ensure that course content aligns with real-world business needs. Additionally, I would push for more live business projects where students work with actual companies to solve industry challenges, as well as faculty-supported internship placements integrated into coursework. To ensure accountability, I will organize student feedback forums on curriculum relevance, where students can share what’s working and what’s missing in their academic journey. With my experience in student representation and industry engagement, I am committed to making business education more practical, career-focused, and aligned with the evolving job market.
