Candidate for the position of Undergraduate Education Officer (FT)

Syed Hamza

Make Your Vote Count

I am Syed Muhammad Hamza, and a second-year International Relations student. I got my first whiff of being a Course Rep back in 2020 during my foundation year. Following that point, I again served as Course Rep in 2022 and was subsequently elected as Convenor for School of PPL in 2023. Having previously served as Course Rep and School Convenor for PPL, I am confident that I can contribute more to the academic experience of students if I get the opportunity to become UEA’s Education Undergraduate Officer.

Goals if I am elected:

Creating more internship opportunities for students.
Resolve issues pertaining to timetabling.
Keeping the students’ feedback anonymous and maintaining a high level of privacy.
Being the Former President of Amnesty International Society (UEA), I observed a lack of communication or link between UEA’s societies and respective schools of study. I shall work on this aspect to augment the experience of students involved in university societies.
I am also amongst the pioneers of UEA’s Security and Intelligence society as I am a huge proponent of organising intellectual discussions. Though we do have a considerable number of such talks taking place, I feel that external speakers from different countries ought to be invited more frequently by the university.
Provide more guidance to students during their module enrolment.
Organising more social events for students as social life is also important alongside academic rigor.
Creating a social media group chats for students.
Giving students a clear indication about their Course Reps so that students are well aware and have the necessary information required to convey feedback to their Course Reps.
