The VP Education is responsible for ensuring students' academic experience is delivered to a high standard. Tom works very closely with the University and senior leaders, extending to Welsh Government, on academic policy and quality. Alongside the President, VP Education sits on key decision making boards and committees, driving change from a student perspective. Tom also leads the academic reps, an essential body to gathering student feedback.

Tom studied Theoretical Physics and did his thesis in String Theory; with a very keen passion for particle physics, quantum mechanics and nuclear physics. He started at Swansea on a foundation year, becoming a subject rep - and progressed through the system, spending two and a half years as a school rep for Biosciences, Geography and Physics. He also sat on the Physics society for two years, helping them win Most Improved Society 23/24 and Society of the Year 24/25, and subsequently became the Society Executive for Science and Engineering. Tom worked at JC's - pulling pints and pouring incredibly poor latte art; as well as being a member of Rygbi Tawe and a die-hard GWA fan. His guilty pleasure is karaoke, and he has no qualms with shamelessly getting on the mic - so if you see him, don't hesitate to ask him for a duet!
