Swaran promised in his manifesto to campaign to keep the library open over the weekends during exam time, and to ensure students receive personalised timetables emailed to them.
He also said he would set up monthly workshops between all Subject Reps and the Education Officer.
He described his victory as a “weight being lifted off [his] shoulders”, thanking his “small but clearly very effective” campaign team.
He stated that he will be incorporating some ideas from his fellow candidates into his manifesto, though his biggest priority is a “work placement scheme for every course”, where students will be able to gain work experience relevant to their course.
Mr Singh has had previous experience as a College Rep and a Student Ambassador, both of which help qualify him for his new role.
