Hamza
I am an international student from Pakistan who arrived in the UK in 2022 to pursue a foundation year in Law and Social Sciences. Since then, I have consistently demonstrated a commitment to academic excellence and student representation. Over the past three years, I have served as a Course Representative, advocating for student needs and contributing to curriculum improvements. I was elected Vice President of the Kingston University Law Society, where I successfully organized seven impactful events, the highest number ever hosted by any society in the year 2024/25. One of my proudest achievements was representing a law firm (Addison & Khan Solicitors) at Kingston University's largest Law Fair and organising the fair at the same time in November 2024 in collaboration with careers department.
In addition to leadership roles, I have supported fellow students as an Academic Mentor for Level 4, guiding them through the English Legal System and helping them navigate their studies. My academic dedication was recognised when I achieved top marks in Public Law during my first year, which led to an internship with IG-Smart Ltd, facilitated by the Law Department. I also gained practical experience through a two-month internship at Central Chambers Law Solicitors (Criminal Defence Law Firm).
I have consistently achieved First Class Honours throughout my academic journey, including the foundation year, and was honoured with two prestigious awards Academic Excellence and Top Module in Public Law.at the Student Achievements Award 2025. And now I am serving as the elected president of the student union for the 2025/26 academic year which further endorses my passion for representing students and serving them as their true leader.
Outside of academics, I enjoy busy schedule, long drives, playing badminton, and networking with new people which are activities that keep me energised and inspired. I often reflect myself on the words of Robert Frost: “The woods are lovely, dark and deep, But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep”.”
Reduce the prevalence of financial pressures experienced by international students by June 2026.
By May 2026, have an Active Bystander & Student Support Initiative set-up in partnership between KSU and KU, aimed at student empowerment, reducing sexual harassment, and eradicating period poverty.
By June 2026, at least 80% of students to feel confident that their academic interests have been represented by KSU and that 80% feel equipped and confident for their future.
I want to hear from you! You can email me at m.haroon@kingston.ac.uk.
I will also be updating this page throughout the year with updates and new ways for you to get involved with our campaigns.
