• David Njoku

  UCL East Student Officer · 2026-27

  1. What will you bring to this role (e.g. experience, skills or qualities)?—
  2. I can bring a perspective shaped by growing up in a low-income area of South London and understanding that students do not all start from the same position. Financial pressure, limited guidance and not always having people around you who understand university can make opportunities harder to navigate. At UCL, I have realised that even with so many opportunities available, it can be overwhelming knowing where to start. I would bring an honest, relatable voice, listen to students who may not always speak up and help turn their concerns into practical change.—
  3. Your Voice, My priority.—
  4. What do you hope to achieve in the role if you are elected?—
  5. If elected, I want to help students make the most of what UCL has to offer. There are so many opportunities that it can sometimes feel overwhelming, especially when you are new and do not know where to start. I want to help provide more direction by making opportunities easier to find, understand and access. I also want students to feel comfortable raising concerns and knowing that their voice is being heard. Ultimately, I want students, especially those without strong networks or guidance, to feel more confident navigating UCL and leave knowing they made the most of their experience.—
  6. Please summarise why students should vote for you.—
  7. Students should vote for me because I want to be a Student Officer who is approachable, honest and actually listens. Coming from a low-income area of South London, I understand that not everyone starts with the same guidance, connections or opportunities. I want to use my experience to represent students from different backgrounds, help make UCL’s opportunities easier to navigate and make sure students feel heard. I’m not just interested in having a title; I want to listen to students, understand what they need and turn their feedback into practical change.—

• Roki Seydi

  Mature, Part-Time & Carers Students' Officer · 2026-27

  1. What will you bring to this role (e.g. experience, skills or qualities)?—
  2. I represent every word of this role’s title. I was a mature, part-time student, working, with caring responsibilities, and student rep for a cohort of 200+. I’m now a mature student, working and caring again, not letting life decide where my academic ambition stops, but still doing an 8:30am school run before rushing to a 9am class I know I’ll always be late for. In my research, I study where systems assume everyone has the same context. So in this role, I’ll bring lived experience, rep experience, and a habit of following up until things change, because I personally care.—
  3. Been there, as a student. Done that, as a rep. Time to act.—
  4. What do you hope to achieve in the role if you are elected?—
  5. Mature, part-time and carer students are spread across UCL, so I'd make sure they have a common hub first. Then I'd push for:—
  6. a drop-in creche alongside the day nursery, for exams, evening sessions and reading weeks that miss school half-terms;—
  7. extra support at exam time, when deadlines pile on top of caring and work;—
  8. letting caring evidence count against compulsory attendance, including for international students on visa monitoring;—
  9. one UCL timetable you can sync with your caring and work calendars;—
  10. peer support that catches burnout before it forces students to interrupt their studies.—
  11. Please summarise why students should vote for you.—
  12. I’ve lived all three parts of this role: mature, part-time and carer. I know what it costs when study, work and caring collide, because it cost me burnout, a break in my studies and many sacrifices to pursue higher education. We may be a smaller share of UCL students, but as a student rep I represented a cohort of 200+ who were all part-time, 94% mature and 73% carers. So I know how to turn feedback from this group into action. I’ll be honest about what’s possible, keep you updated, and keep pushing until UCL works for students whose lives don’t fit a standard timetable.—

  1. (Najmus)—
  2. ”I am” Vs. “We are”: Najmus believes in “We are…”—
  3. What do you hope to achieve in the role if you are elected?—
  4. I aim to achieve a lifetime experience of working with one of the best student communities. It will provide me with an opportunity to connect with people from diverse groups.

Thus, the position will engage me in people management and allow me to be enlightened by the beauty of a multicultural environment. I am a passionate learner and thrive in team environments, particularly those that are culturally diverse.—
  5. What will you bring to this role (e.g. experience, skills or qualities)?—
  6. In my early life, I actively engaged in non-academic sectors. I participated in different social activities, including firefighting and crisis management. During my master’s program, I served as the—
  7. program coordinator—
  8. for the Tilburg Law School. My key responsibility was to coordinate my classmates’ expectations and inform key personnel, with the goal of continuous program development. However, I served my class as an elected—
  9. ’Class Representative’—
  10. at both the undergraduate and postgraduate levels, which reflects my capacity to support a community and ensure their well-being adequately.—
  11. Please summarise why students should vote for you.—

• Ahmed Youssef

  Hall Community Officer for One Pool Street · 2026-27

  1. (he/him)—
  2. Less hassle, more comfort, more fun!—
  3. What do you hope to achieve in the role if you are elected?—
  4. I want OPS to offer more ways for residents to meet and make use of the spaces we share. I'd work with ResLife on a regular calendar of relaxed, inclusive activities, announced in advance and offered at varied times and costs (e.g. games, music and group visits to free screenings at the UCL East cinema). I'd also work with Accommodation staff on practical improvements chosen with residents, particularly advance booking for the music room, usable equipment and better common-room games. I'd publish what residents ask for and what progress we're actually making, so their ideas shape hall life.—
  5. What will you bring to this role (e.g. experience, skills or qualities)?—
  6. As Head Boy, I helped coordinate a 22-member Student Cabinet representing around 1,500 students. Working with its members and staff meant coordinating projects and presenting students' requests directly to school leadership. As Academic Music Society Chair, I planned performances, coordinated equipment and helped younger musicians find their place on stage. At OPS, I'd use those experiences to help ResLife organise activities where practical details are taken care of and residents feel comfortable taking part, whether they're regulars at socials or simply trying something for the first time.—
  7. Please summarise why students should vote for you.—
  8. I want residents to know their views can lead to change. As Head Boy, I worked with our Student Cabinet to take concerns about our prom venue to school leadership, and together we secured the venue students preferred. I helped bring younger students into leadership through a Shadow Cabinet, giving new voices a say in decisions. At OPS, I'd seek input from residents who rarely attend socials or make themselves heard. I also supported school wellbeing initiatives, and I'd make time to discuss personal concerns privately and point residents towards appropriate university support.—

I would also like to support inclusive social and community-building activities that help students from different backgrounds meet one another and feel at home, particularly those who are new to London & living away from their family.—
  5. What will you bring to this role (e.g. experience, skills or qualities)?—

I am experienced in working with people from diverse backgrounds, listening to different perspectives, & helping find practical solutions when issues arise.

• Hugo Andres Otero

  Hall Community Officer for Ian Baker House and Ramsay Hall · 2026-27

  1. (He/Him)—
  2. What do you hope to achieve in the role if you are elected?—
  3. Over the past few weeks, I think most of us have noticed that there is room for improvement at Ramsay Hall. From lifts not working and bins overflowing to common room access and early morning fire drills, there are quite a few things that could be better. After all, Ramsay Hall and Ian are supposed to be our home, not just a place where we sleep. And I think we can do better than this.—
  4. If elected, I hope to make our voices heard and push for real improvements. I know that not everything can be changed overnight, but I promise to keep raising your concerns and looking for solutions.—
  5. What will you bring to this role (e.g. experience, skills or qualities)?—
  6. For the past four years, I've been elected class representative. Although this was at high school, it helped me develop my communication and debating skills and taught me the importance of representing others. I'm not going to pretend I'm perfect or that I'll always find the best solution. I'm fully aware that I'll make mistakes, but what matters is learning from them and adapting to do better the next day. I'll always be willing to listen, speak up, and try to find solutions.—
  7. Please summarise why students should vote for you.—
  8. You should vote for me not because I promise to solve every problem, but because I promise I won't give up trying. I won't make promises I can't keep just to get your vote. Instead, I'll listen to your concerns, make sure they're heard, and keep pushing for improvements. I know that change isn't always easy, and I won't always have the answers, but I'm willing to ask questions, challenge things when necessary, and learn from my mistakes. You deserve someone who genuinely tries to make a difference, and that's what I'll do.—

I’d aim to run regular, affordable events, from inter-flat competitions and themed socials to pizza-making nights and group trips around London. I’d also listen to residents’ ideas and try new events based on what people actually enjoy, creating a welcoming community where everyone feels included, even if they arrive knowing nobody.—
  4. What will you bring to this role (e.g. experience, skills or qualities)?—
  5. I’m enthusiastic, approachable and love bringing people together. Through running my own online business and serving as a Legal Director in Young Enterprise, I’ve developed strong organisation, communication and problem-solving skills, from coordinating projects to turning ideas into reality. I’d bring that same initiative to hall life, planning events that are creative, well-organised and genuinely enjoyable. I’m also happy to take the lead, get people involved and make sure events feel welcoming rather than cliquey, so residents feel comfortable joining in even if they come alone.—
  6. Please summarise why students should vote for you.—
  7. Vote for me if you want to make John Dodgson feel like a real community, not just a building full of separate flats! I want to get people out of their rooms, meeting neighbours and making friends through fun, regular events, from inter-flat competitions to themed socials and pizza nights. My goal is to create a lively, welcoming social environment where people feel comfortable getting involved, friendships form beyond individual flats, and everyone has the chance to make the most of their university experience.—

• Suhani Ahuja

  Undergraduate Hall Community Officer for Canary Wharf · 2026-27

  1. (she/her)—
  2. Vote for Suhani. Because you halls need a plot twist.—
  3. What do you hope to achieve in the role if you are elected?—
  4. I want Canary Wharf to feel like a playground rather than just a place we come back to sleep. I would like to bring an exciting mix of weekly events: from movie nights, creative and relaxing sessions to monthly themed socials (Halloween, Christmas, Diwali, Eid etc) and competitive game tournaments. I want there to be something for everyone to look forward to. I would also love to help improve the cinema room booking system so that everyone can get a fair chance at using the space and create an anonymous feedback channel for the residents to share their feedbacks and ideas.—
  5. What will you bring to this role (e.g. experience, skills or qualities)?—
  6. Through my experience with leading workshops, organising socials, managing social medias and contributing to creative projects, I have learnt how to take a project from ideation to construct it exactly as envisioned. Being a BA Art and Technology student, I love to create interactive experiences which bring people together, especially those who might not cross paths otherwise. I am comfortable with thinking outside the box, coordinating with people for multiple things and adapting fast when things go south at the last minute. I'll bring these skills to create an engaging community at Urbanest.—
  7. Please summarise why students should vote for you.—
  8. I don't want to just be another representative on paper who doesn't fully deliver in the end. I want to be the friend that you can approach at even three in the morning and know that it will work out and that you will be heard , no matter how absurd the request was. Whether it is finding the balance in reserving shared community spaces , planning fun socials or bringing people from different backgrounds together, I will listen, take the feedback seriously and do my best to make everyone a little more excited to come back home in the evenings and have something to look forward to.—

• Talha Noor Tahir

  Hall Community Officer for Astor College · 2026-27

  1. (he/him)—
  2. Listen first. Follow through.—
  3. What do you hope to achieve in the role if you are elected?—
  4. I want residents to know who represents them, how to raise an issue and what happened after they raised it. I would make it easy to share concerns and ideas, both online and in person, then take common priorities to accommodation staff and the Welfare and Community Zone. I would focus on practical issues such as accessibility, safety and shared facilities, while helping organise events people actually want to attend. I would also keep residents updated instead of letting concerns disappear into a meeting room.—
  5. What will you bring to this role (e.g. experience, skills or qualities)?—
  6. I have spent several years representing students. At RNC I served as a student representative, lead student representative and student governor, and at Kingston I was a Course Representative. I also ran weekly story nights for 20 to 30 students for three years and completed a Civil Service policy internship. Being blind and living in UCL accommodation has also shown me how small practical decisions can affect independence and inclusion. I know how to listen, raise an issue clearly and keep following it until there is an answer.—
  7. Please summarise why students should vote for you.—
  8. Vote for me if you want a representative who will ask before assuming, chase answers when issues stall and tell you what happened afterwards. I have represented students before, and I know the job is not to speak over people but to make sure their views reach the right room. I will make myself easy to contact, look for concerns shared by residents and push for practical changes. If something cannot be changed, I will explain why rather than disappearing after the election.—

After 13 years of competitive dance, I’m a member of UCL’s Dance, Bangla and Neuroscience societies, so I understand what keeps members coming back every week.—
  14. Please summarise why students should vote for you.—
  15. Do you remember walking into your first society session? Standing at the door, taking a deep breath, and hoping you’d find your people? A society isn’t just an administrative listing on a website, it’s where strangers become family. I’ll make sure every club, from the largest performing arts group to the smallest niche gathering, is heard, supported, and never left waiting on Union bureaucracy. You won’t just be a line in a room booking queue; you’ll be the heartbeat of this campus.—
  16. Vote for me, and let’s build a campus where everyone finds their people, and their spark.—

• Gary Li

  Volunteering Reps · 2026-27

  1. Your first step into volunteering, made easy.—
  2. What do you hope to achieve in the role if you are elected?—
  3. I want to make the first step into volunteering easy, because that’s where most students drop off. Many want to help but don’t know where to start or fear a big time commitment. I’ll push for clear, bite-sized roles with stated hours, reach students who rarely get asked, especially international students, by working with societies, and collect feedback on what stops people volunteering so the Union can fix it. Volunteering should feel like an open door, not a closed club.—
  4. What will you bring to this role (e.g. experience, skills or qualities)?—
  5. Real, hands-on volunteering experience. At CAFE UK I started with no set role and, by turning up every month, ended up running event check-in, managing the website, handling purchasing and reimbursements, and helping co-host a Chinese New Year gala for 200+ guests. I’ve also volunteered with CBAIA and am a senior member of CSSA, taking part in many events throughout my time at UCL. I’m approachable, talkative and genuinely enjoy helping people, which is what this role needs.—
  6. Please summarise why students should vote for you.—
  7. Because I’ve lived the journey this role is about: from a volunteer with no set task to someone trusted to help run events. I know what made that first step hard, and what made me stay. I’ll make opportunities clearer, shorter to commit to and open to everyone, including students who usually aren’t asked. I’m approachable, I show up, and I’ll make sure your views on volunteering reach the Union. Vote for me and your first step will be easier.—

I would bring these experiences and my commitment to volunteering to the role.—
  5. What will you bring to this role (e.g. experience, skills or qualities)?—
  6. I want more UCL students to discover volunteering opportunities that suit their interests, skill sets and availability. If elected, I would promote opportunities across UCL and the wider community, helping students who are unsure where to start feel encouraged to get involved. I would also listen to students’ feedback to understand barriers to volunteering and work with Students’ Union UCL to make opportunities more accessible. I aim to celebrate and showcase outstanding student volunteers at the annual awards ceremony, highlighting how their contributions benefit UCL and local communities.—
  7. Please summarise why students should vote for you.—
  8. Students should vote for me as I will bring enthusiasm, fresh ideas and a genuine commitment to making volunteering more visible and accessible at UCL. I want to help students discover opportunities they might otherwise miss, recognise the contributions of student volunteers and build stronger connections between UCL and local communities. I would listen to students’ ideas, work collaboratively with Students’ Union UCL and help create a culture where volunteering is valued and more students feel encouraged to get involved.—

For example, if students feel that assignment feedback is unclear/inconsistent, I would communicate this constructively to staff, so practical solutions can be explored. Where changes can't be implemented at once, I would ensure students understand how their feedback has been considered, strengthening communication between students and the dept.—

  1. (she/her)—
  2. What will you bring to this role (e.g. experience, skills or qualities)?—
  3. I bring experience, confidence and, most importantly, initiative. As an academic representative, I have collected feedback from a large cohort, spoken directly with staff and raised issues when students felt something was not working. When students struggled with the pace of Maths teaching, I contacted staff and arranged discussions to look at possible solutions. I am also confident speaking publicly and organising events such as the Spaghetti Tower and Balloon Challenges. I am approachable, responsive and not afraid to push for answer—
  4. Angie? Yes, I've heard of her!—
  5. What do you hope to achieve in the role if you are elected?—
  6. I want students to know that when they raise an issue, it will actually be looked into. I want to improve the academic experience across 2nd and 3rd year, especially around modules, teaching, assessment and degree pathways. I also want to make communication between students and staff more direct. If students have concerns, I will raise them, follow them up and keep students informed. I want to be a representative who does more than collect feedback — I want to turn feedback into action.—
  7. Please summarise why students should vote for you.—
  8. Students should vote for me because I am proactive, approachable and willing to take action. I do not just pass problems on — I contact the relevant people, ask questions and keep following things up. I am comfortable representing students publicly and speaking to staff when something needs to be challenged. I also communicate easily with students from different backgrounds and speak English, Chinese and German. Most importantly, I want students to know that if they come to me with a problem, I will listen and genuinely try to do something about it.—

• Anita Beroza

  Faculty of Arts and Humanities PGT Rep · 2026-27

  1. What will you bring to this role (e.g. experience, skills or qualities)?—
  2. I undertook my undergraduate degree at UCL in this very faculty and actively participated in a wide array of activities, so I know the ins and outs of all kinds of opportunities and ways they might be improved for postgrads! I was on the committee for several societies as an undergraduate here, including as president of Philosophy Society for two years and president of Science Fiction and Fantasy Society for one year. I've also worked outside of my degree, and I know what it can take as a postgraduate to keep many aspects of life balanced, and I am dedicated to making sure you are supported!—
  3. What do you hope to achieve in the role if you are elected?—
  4. Some of my main goals as your representative are:—
  5. Increase career preparation for postgraduate taught students, especially for the Arts and Humanities departments! There is so much you can do in both further postgraduate education and the workforce, and I think this is often overlooked for students with our background—
  6. Ensure postgraduate international students are represented alongside to home students, as an international student myself—
  7. Create more opportunities for postgraduates within departmental societies—
  8. Increase sustainability education—
  9. Overall, foster a strong, interconnected PGT community—
  10. Please summarise why students should vote for you.—
  11. I loved UCL so much I'm back for my master's! I have years of experience working with our Student Union and societies. I was a two-year president of Philosophy Society during my undergraduate degree here, so I know what it takes to liaise with departments, the university, the SU, and students, and I will make sure our needs and beliefs are represented fairly as the Faculty of Arts and Humanities. I'm active in a variety of societies and networks, and I am passionate about making sure your voice is heard! If I am elected, please feel free to treat my (digital) door as always open!—

• Belema Dakuku Peterside

  Faculty of Mathematical and Physical Sciences PGT Rep · 2026-27

  1. (She/her)—
  2. What will you bring to this role (e.g. experience, skills or qualities)?—
  3. I would bring empathy, confidence and a genuine willingness to listen. I’m approachable and kind, but also assertive and persuasive when something matters. I’m not afraid to ask difficult questions, challenge things that could be improved, or speak up for people who may not feel comfortable doing so themselves. During my undergraduate degree, I developed strong communication and analytical skills, but most importantly, I care about making people feel heard, represented and supported, and overall producing results.—
  4. Your Voice, My Actions—
  5. What do you hope to achieve in the role if you are elected?—
  6. If selected, I hope to create a genuine, direct channel between students and faculty, where concerns aren't just heard but acted on. I hope to identify recurring issues, work with staff to find practical solutions, and keep students informed about progress and outcomes. I also hope to make it easier for students to raise concerns before they become bigger problems. Ultimately, I hope to help build a faculty culture where student feedback leads to visible, meaningful change.—
  7. Please summarise why students should vote for you.—
  8. You should vote for me because I won’t just listen to your concerns; I’ll do something with them. I want to create a direct channel between students and the faculty, making it easier to raise issues, find practical solutions and hold conversations that lead to real change. I’m approachable enough to hear you out, but assertive enough to speak up when it matters. If you have something to say, I’ll make sure it gets to the right table.—

• Eleanor Charman

  Faculty of Medical Sciences UG Rep (Non-Clinical) · 2026-27

  1. (She/her)—
  2. What will you bring to this role (e.g. experience, skills or qualities)?—
  3. Over the last year as an Academic Representative, I have gained vital experience collecting student feedback and raising concerns with staff. Through UCL Changemakers, I've also worked on a project to improve anatomy education using 3D-printed teaching models, particularly to enhance the learning experience for visually impaired and neurodivergent students. As a mature student and project partner, I interact with students at different stages of university life and understand the challenges they face.—
  4. Thus, I bring experience in representation, project work and student engagement to this role.—
  5. Experience. Persistence. Progress.—
  6. What do you hope to achieve in the role if you are elected?—
  7. My previous role as Academic Rep taught me that effective representation requires proactive outreach, rather than waiting for students to come forward. If elected, I will use course group chats, Instagram, Rednote, and other platforms to ensure outreach to all – ensuring total inclusion, representation and informative updates on course matters. I've also noticed that many opportunities, events, and projects aren't widely advertised, so students often miss out. I will work with the course reps and the DMS Society to improve communication and the promotion of opportunities.—
  8. Please summarise why students should vote for you.—
  9. Vote for me if you want a representative who is realistic, persistent and focused on achieving meaningful change. Improving the student experience is not as simple as raising an issue and expecting immediate results. Progress requires evidence, an understanding of different perspectives, and the ability to adapt strategies when initial approaches fail.—
  10. I will use my extensive experience to represent student voices effectively. I also strive to co-operate with the DMS Society to organise more cohort-wide events, to help students connect beyond their existing friendship groups.—

• Eleanor Luxton

  Faculty of Social and Historical Sciences PGR Rep · 2026-27

  1. (she/her)—
  2. What will you bring to this role (e.g. experience, skills or qualities)?—
  3. I've been a Lead Department Representative for 2 years, supporting Geography PGTs and PGRs. I have advocated for postgraduate students on a wide range of issues, and have escalated our concerns too. This Summer, I met with Elizabeth Halton and Geraint Thomas at the Doctoral School to raise concerns about professional development, pay, and opportunities for PGTAs, after liaising with our Faculty Graduate Tutor, the UCU, and the Students’ Union. This led to changes to my department's approach to PGTA training, and secured me a place on the shortlist for Academic Rep of the Year 2025/26.—
  4. Experienced. Approachable. Ready to make PGR voices heard.—
  5. What do you hope to achieve in the role if you are elected?—
  6. I hope to…—
  7. Understand our experiences of PGTA-ing across SHS, working closely with the Faculty and Doc School to improve consistency and resist precarity.—
  8. Be an approachable, visible (I’m on campus a lot!) and friendly sounding board for PGRs.—
  9. Collect data on how the EASE process is affecting PGRs.—
  10. Advocate for issues like desking, international students' experiences, and careers.—
  11. Start a regular newsletter for all SHS PGRs, to improve communication and make collecting and following up on feedback easier.—
  12. Organise cross-department SHS PGR socials to foster a sense of community.—
  13. Please summarise why students should vote for you.—
  14. Students should vote for me because I've effectively been doing the role of Faculty Rep for the past year! I found the first year of my PhD quite isolating, so I really care about bringing students together to share the problems we’re encountering and celebrating our successes. I’m a calm and confident communicator, a familiar face in the Geography department, and passionate about the need for PhDs to be good training and networking opportunities. I think that PGRs aren’t provided with enough support at UCL, and I’m determined to change that. Please get in touch – I’d love to hear from you.—

• Farida Youssef

  Faculty of the Built Environment PGT Rep · 2026-27

  1. (She/her)—
  2. What will you bring to this role (e.g. experience, skills or qualities)?—
  3. I would like to use my professional experience working within multidisciplinary teams as a sustainability consultant for the built environment to help communicate students feedback constructively, bridge gaps where needed and contribute to a more inclusive and supportive learning environment. Ultimately, I see this role as an opportunity to make our shared experience better, ensuring that we not only leave with a degree but also feel that we have grown, contributed and made the most of our time together.—
  4. Our voices, our idea and our UCL—
  5. What do you hope to achieve in the role if you are elected?—
  6. I’m someone who loves bringing people together, taking initiative, and finding ways to make things better. I believe our university experience should be about more than just getting a degree, it’s about making the most of our time here, learning from each other and creating an environment where everyone feels heard and supported. I’d love to take an active role in making that happen by bringing fresh ideas to the table, turning feedback into action and making our time at UCL as rewarding as we all want it to be !—
  7. Please summarise why students should vote for you.—
  8. As an international student, I know what it feels like to arrive somewhere new, figure everything out, and wonder if everyone else has it together while you’re just winging it! I want to make sure none of us feels alone in this journey. Whether it’s making sure our concerns are heard, finding solutions to shared challenges or helping us feel more connected as a cohort. I want to be someone you can approach, talk to and count on. I can’t promise to magically fix everything (as much I would love to), but I can promise to speak up, take initiative and turn feedback into action!—

• Hannah Ford

  Faculty of Population Health Sciences PGR Rep · 2026-27

  1. What will you bring to this role (e.g. experience, skills or qualities)?—
  2. I have three years’ experience as a Department Representative for the Institute of Cardiovascular Science, including two years as Lead Rep. During this time, I have represented student concerns and worked with staff to improve the research experience. Recognising a lack of opportunities for PhD students to connect across departments, I created faculty-wide social events, including an annual quiz night that now attracts over 50 students. For this work, I was awarded the Academic Representative of the Year for our faculty. This experience and commitment will be carried forward into this role.—
  3. Experienced in representation. Committed to building our community.—
  4. What do you hope to achieve in the role if you are elected?—
  5. My main priority is to carry on my work in strengthening community across the faculty. With students spread across departments and locations, it can be difficult to build networks beyond immediate research groups. I want to expand opportunities for PhD students to connect, share experiences and collaborate, while working closely with department representatives and staff. I also want to ensure all postgraduate researchers feel represented, know where to raise concerns, and see their feedback result in meaningful action.—
  6. Please summarise why students should vote for you.—
  7. Students should vote for me because I offer both experience and a proven commitment to improving the PhD experience. As a Department Representative and Lead Rep, I have advocated for students, worked constructively with staff, and created faculty-wide initiatives that bring researchers together. As I enter the final year of my PhD, I want to build on this work and leave a lasting positive impact by helping create a more connected, supportive and inclusive postgraduate community.—

  1. (She/Her)—
  2. What will you bring to this role (e.g. experience, skills or qualities)?—
  3. I bring a track record of strong communication, negotiation, and advocacy. As an Ambassador at The Hague Model United Nations, I was able to represent my team to a large audience, proving to be balanced and convincing in my arguments. I have interned in public health organisations, learning team work and how to navigate diverse environments. I believe these skills will allow me to be a true voice for my cohort, negotiating effectively with administration to achieve workable solutions. I promise to remain highly organised and consistent, persevering to be the collective voice of our group.—
  4. I promise to keep my promises—
  5. What do you hope to achieve in the role if you are elected?—
  6. I would work to establish an Exam and Essay archive, bringing together anonymised, high scoring answers for every module. These examples would allow us to understand what our professors require - marked papers should not be a guessing game! I would also introduce an anonymous Issue Tracker, where students can submit complaints, and ideas in a safe, non-judgemental format.—
  7. This would help create an environment where students can submit anything from minor inconveniences to grand ideas, allowing the student reps to directly hear both complaints and ideas, and work on making the change you need.—
  8. Please summarise why students should vote for you.—
  9. You should vote for me as I can guarantee that I will work tirelessly to ensure that your problems are not only heard but appropriately addressed. That your ideas - however big or small - are not only taken into consideration but implemented: and that I will be an effective bridge between us and our faculty and administration.—

  Faculty of the Built Environment PGR Rep · 2026-27

  1. What will you bring to this role (e.g. experience, skills or qualities)?—
  2. I’m a very approachable, friendly (and funny!) person, and I want students to feel comfortable coming to me with any concerns or ideas. As a Faculty Rep, I’ve helped organise the first Bartlett PhD Conference, established an online induction event for new students, raised student concerns with the faculty, and improved awareness of existing support. I’m proactive, collaborative and confident communicating with senior leadership. I’d focus on listening to students, turning their feedback into meaningful action, and keeping everyone informed about progress.—
  3. What do you hope to achieve in the role if you are elected?—
  4. I’d love to organise a second edition of the Bartlett PhD Conference, creating more opportunities for PhD students to share their work and connect across departments. Even if I’m not elected, I’ll give everything I can to help make it an even better event! I’d also like to promote the Changemakers programme, improve awareness of support for students with invisible disabilities, and make better use of social media to showcase student research and give students a platform to share their work. Above all, I want to keep building a stronger, more connected and inclusive PhD community.—
  5. Please summarise why students should vote for you.—
  6. I have experience communicating directly with senior leadership, presenting student feedback and making clear recommendations.

• Joyce Zheng

  Faculty of Population Health Sciences PGT Rep · 2026-27

  1. What will you bring to this role (e.g. experience, skills or qualities)?—
  2. I served as a Teaching Assistant, Deputy Class Advisor, and Head of the News Division. These roles gave me strong skills in observing, information gathering and organisation.—
  3. I have also led teams in various competitions and completed internships across different fields, which taught me how to bring together students from different backgrounds, ages, and majors. I became a natural leader and spokesperson, willing to stand up for students’ rights.—
  4. I also received a GBSH scholarship. It means I can manage my studies well and still have time to listen to students and follow up on their concerns.—
  5. One year is short. Your voice should still be heard.—
  6. What do you hope to achieve in the role if you are elected?—
  7. I have three priorities.—
  8. First, close the gap between event booking and on-site check-in. I will raise this with the faculty—asking them to check bookings on site, reserve some space for walk-in students, and send email updates when time or venue changes.—
  9. Second, push to review how information is sent out. The same faces show up at most events—roughly the same 20% of the faculty, especially PGT students. Apart from personal choice, scattered channels make this worse.—
  10. Third, push for more career speakers from non-medical backgrounds, so students from other backgrounds can see a path into health.—
  11. Please summarise why students should vote for you.—
  12. I bring experience, proven ability, and genuine commitment. I have already started listening—collecting voices from students around me and turning what I hear into clear points.—
  13. If elected, I will bring these to the faculty and follow up until something changes. I will set up a drop-in corner every week, online and offline, open to students from different backgrounds to share their feedback. After each meeting, I will post a short update.—
  14. I will also push for more interaction across the whole faculty—not just within individual schools—so we can feel like we belong to something bigger.—

I will bring an empathetic and proactive attitude to the role, ensuring that each peer of mine is heard and comfortable sharing their experience.—

  5. One Cohort. One Voice. One Representation—
  6. What do you hope to achieve in the role if you are elected?—
  7. I hope to foster a faculty community where every student has a voice in shaping the academic environment that works the best for us. Throughout the year, I look forward to keeping us connected through shared experiences, conversations, and collective feedback, ensuring that our perspective reaches our faculty for consideration.—
  8. After all, we are connected not just by the course we study, but by the shared experiences that make our time at UCL truly enriching.—
  9. Please summarise why students should vote for you.—
  10. Each cohort brings different experiences, perspectives and aspirations. So, why vote for me ?—
  11. A proactive representative : Strive to turn feedback into constructive conversations with the faculty and follow up.—
  12. A listener before a speaker: Ensure that representation begins with listening and not assumptions.—
  13. Approachable and empathetic : Feel comfortable sharing concerns and ideas, knowing they will be heard, considered and taken forward wherever possible.—
  14. For me, representation is not having all the answers; it's about the willingness to listen and finding the way forward!—

  3. My role as Student Representative for the Meng EAD programme last year has provided me with an insight into the inner workings of UCL, and how to approach meetings with staff so that productive discussion is had. I am also a good listener, and provided students with every opportunity to talk to me about issues they were having with the course or with UCL at large, which I will continue in my role as Faculty Representative.

  2. What will you bring to this role (e.g. experience, skills or qualities)?—
  3. As a First-Class UCL Maths graduate and former President of the UCL Maths Colloquium, I bring experience representing students, strong communication skills, and a sociable, approachable nature. I have customer service experience and know London well. Crucially, I have built a strong network over 3 years in London with other university societies (e.g. LSE CSSAS) and employers in the UK and Hong Kong. UCL's academic focus and size make career support and job fairs hard to access. I will use my connections to bring more, easier opportunities to our faculty.—
  4. We Will Make UCL Faculty of Engineering Great Again~ We Will Not Fail!—
  5. What do you hope to achieve in the role if you are elected?—
  6. If elected, I want to make career opportunities more accessible. UCL's academic focus and size mean students struggle to access job fairs. I will use my network with other university societies (e.g. LSE CSSAS) and employers in the UK and Hong Kong to bring easier opportunities to our faculty: exclusive networking, employer talks, and job openings. I also want a simple channel for internships and graduate roles. I want to bridge academic study and career readiness, ensuring every student has a fair chance at meaningful employment.—
  7. Please summarise why students should vote for you.—
  8. I will fight for better career opportunities, not just academic support. As a First-Class UCL Maths graduate and former Maths Colloquium President, I know how hard it is to access job fairs and employers at a large, academically focused university. I have built strong networks with other university societies and employers in the UK and Hong Kong. I will use them to bring exclusive networking, talks and job openings directly to our faculty. I am approachable, reliable and will make sure your voice is heard.—

• Thanh Vinh Nguyen

  Faculty of Life Sciences PGR Rep · 2026-27

  1. What will you bring to this role (e.g. experience, skills or qualities)?—
  2. I’ve been a student, researcher and mentor, and I know what it’s like to find your feet in a new academic environment while helping others do the same. Before joining UCL, I spent five years volunteering in peer and academic mentoring, helping students navigate academic and personal challenges. That taught me to listen without making assumptions. Research and pharmaceutical industry work taught me to look closely at problems and notice when separate concerns may be connected. I’d bring that experience, be honest about what’s possible and follow things through.—
  3. Your say doesn’t end there—
  4. What do you hope to achieve in the role if you are elected?—
  5. I want PGRs’ experiences and ideas to help improve academic life across Life Sciences, even when change takes time. I’d reach out to researchers and work with other Academic Reps to understand what matters to people in different departments. I’d bring those views to faculty discussions and work with reps and staff on what could be done. Then I’d share the response and check back with researchers to see whether it helps. I’d also leave a clear handover for the next rep, so progress isn’t lost when representatives change.—
  6. Please summarise why students should vote for you.—
  7. If I am speaking on behalf of other PGRs, I want to get their views right, not just give my own take on what they mean. I’d welcome questions and corrections, take concerns seriously and work with researchers and staff to find a way forward. I wouldn’t treat a reply as the end of the matter. I’d check whether it actually helps and be open about what still needs attention. Above all, I want researchers to feel they can trust me to represent what they’ve told me.—

  Faculty of Medical Sciences PGT Rep (Non-Clinical) · 2026-27

  1. What will you bring to this role (e.g. experience, skills or qualities)?—
  2. Having served as an Academic Representative for MSc Clinical and Public Health Nutrition at UCL last year, and as a Course Representative throughout my BSc, I bring several years of experience in student representation. At UCL, I helped secure extensions to assessment deadlines during busy periods and advocated for additional learning resources. These experiences have given me a strong understanding of UCL's representation processes and how to work constructively with faculty, resolve concerns and support fellow representatives in achieving meaningful changes.—
  3. What do you hope to achieve in the role if you are elected?—
  4. I hope to strengthen communication between students, course representatives and faculty, ensuring feedback leads to meaningful action and that outcomes are communicated clearly. I would focus on addressing shared academic concerns, supporting representatives across programmes and building a stronger sense of community. As UCL's Student Ambassador for The Nutrition Society, I would also use my existing connections to work with faculty in facilitating panel discussions, professional networking and opportunities beyond the classroom.—
  5. Please summarise why students should vote for you.—
  6. I bring first-hand experience of representing students and helping achieve positive changes within UCL. I understand the importance of listening to different perspectives, raising concerns constructively and following through until outcomes are communicated. I would be an approachable, proactive and reliable representative who understands both the student perspective and how to navigate university processes, committed to ensuring every programme has a voice and that our collective feedback makes a difference.—

  Institute of Education UG Rep · 2026-27

  1. What will you bring to this role (e.g. experience, skills or qualities)?—
  2. My leadership experience extends across student governance and international education. As a Model United Nations Ambassador in China, I led delegations of students aged 12–19 to NHSMUN at the UN Headquarters in New York, developing expertise in cross-cultural communication, team management and international coordination. As a former Student Council President, I also bring direct experience in student representation. Having studied across Australia, Spain, China and the UK, I bring the adaptability, interpersonal judgement and leadership experience to represent a diverse faculty.—
  3. Every Voice. Every Choice. No One Left Behind.—
  4. What do you hope to achieve in the role if you are elected?—
  5. My ambition is to move student representation from reactive to proactive. Rather than waiting for problems to arise, I want to identify shared challenges across programmes, bring students into conversations earlier, and turn their insights into proposals faculty leaders can act on. I hope to establish clearer feedback and follow-up mechanisms, advocate for greater academic flexibility, and strengthen opportunities for cross-programme collaboration. I want students to help shape the IOE experience, not simply experience decisions made for them.—
  6. Please summarise why students should vote for you.—
  7. A representative shouldn't be someone you only hear from during elections. They should be someone you can approach when things aren't working, challenge when you disagree, and count on when something matters. I want to earn your trust through what I do, not just what I say today. You don't have to agree with me on everything, or even know me personally. What matters is knowing that when your concerns need to be raised, I'll stand up and do it.—
  8. You have my word today, my commitment tomorrow, and my loyalty every step of the way: I will leave no one behind.—

  Faculty of Life Sciences PGT Rep · 2026-27

  1. (He/Him)—
  2. What will you bring to this role (e.g. experience, skills or qualities)?—
  3. I was previously a Course Rep at the University of Liverpool, actively contributing to the SSLC and Curriculum Board. I advocated for changes based on student experience, including introductory teaching on the ethical and responsible use of AI for first-year students, which was eventually implemented. As Arab Society Vice-President, I helped lead a diverse committee that raised around £10,000 for communities affected by war. Finally, as the Judo Club Captain, I learned to bring together students with different experiences and represent the interests of the wider club.—
  4. See it. Say it. Sorted.—
  5. What do you hope to achieve in the role if you are elected?—
  6. I want PGT students to feel that their opinions are more than a note for someone to consider next year. I want to actively follow up on the concerns and ideas they raise, working towards resolving them where possible while keeping students informed throughout. Even when change takes time, students should be able to see what happened because they spoke up and know that their experiences have genuinely contributed to improving UCL.—
  7. Please summarise why students should vote for you.—
  8. I strongly believe that the student experience is an important part of academic success. Students across the Faculty have valuable feedback, that the staff want to act on, but this feedback does not always reach the people who can make decisions at Faculty level. I want to connect students and reps across programmes, bring their shared concerns and ideas to the Faculty, and make sure they are properly followed up. I believe students should vote for me if they want their concerns to lead to action, and to see how their feedback is contributing to change at UCL.—

  2. I would bring strong communication, organisation and leadership skills, developed through my experience as President of the UCL APAC Law Society, where I represent student interests and coordinate initiatives and as House Captain, where I acted as a link between students and teachers.
