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 School Convenor for PPL in 2023.

Goals if I am elected:

• Creating more internship opportunities for students.
• 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 PPL school. 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 (UEA) 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 frequently by the PPL school. 
• Provide more guidance to students during their module enrolment.
• Organising more social events for PPL students as social life is also important alongside academic rigor.
• Creating a social media group chat for PPL students.
• Giving students a clear indication about their course reps so that PPL students are well aware and have the necessary information required to convey feedback to their course reps.
