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.
