My manifesto
Community, Culture, Welfare—Amjad’s Always There!
Amjad for Communities and Culture Officer.
Real Change. Real Support. Real Impact.
Who am I?
I’m Amjad, an Economics and Finance student at UEA, and I’ve been here for four years—long enough to truly understand the challenges students face.
I’ve worked with students throughout my time at UEA as:
- President of the Palestine Society
- Vice President of Arab Society
- Student Representative
- Student Ambassador
- Finance Assistant at the Student Union, helping societies and clubs manage their finances
As a Palestinian and international student, I’ve experienced the struggles of student life firsthand—from financial pressures to mental health challenges. I know how tough it can be, and I want to use my experience to make real change for all students.
My Vision - Real Change for Student
Better Transport – More Bus Times for Bowthorpe
Students living in Bowthorpe deserve more reliable and frequent buses. I will work to increase bus services, ensuring students can travel easily.
Affordable & Better Food on Campus
Food should be better, cheaper, and more diverse. I will push for:
- Lower food prices for students
- More cultural variety in campus food options
- More diverse food options. (Vegan, Halal...)
More Funding for Placement Students
Many placement students, especially in fields like Pharmacy, struggle with extra costs. I will:
- Fight for increased financial support
- Push for travel and living cost subsidies
- Ensure funding is easier to access and more widely promoted
Shark Tank UEA – Supporting Student Businesses
Students have great business ideas but lack funding and support. I will launch Shark Tank UEA, where students can:
- Pitch their business ideas for funding and mentorship
- Gain resources to launch and grow their startups
More Cultural Club Nights & Events
UEA is a diverse university, and cultural representation matters! I will:
- Organize more cultural club nights
- Support societies in hosting bigger and better events
- Create a stronger, more inclusive student community
Stronger Support for International Students
As an international student, I know the struggles of moving to a new country. I will:
- Advocate for better international student support
- Ensure UEA is a welcoming place for all backgrounds
Why vote for me?
I’m not here to make empty promises—I’m here to deliver real change.
- I’ve been in your shoes.
- I know the struggles.
- I have the experience to make a difference.
From better transport and food to student funding and cultural events, I will work to make UEA a better, fairer, and more supportive place for EVERY student.
