Hello,
I am an LLB student currently living in the US, entering my second year in the program. I study completely
independent of an institution and without tutoring. Since my entry into the program, I have been very vocal and
active, a fact to which Professor Hamilton can attest, from my many suggestions and correspondence with her in
the past year.
Although you state in the packet that only those from the UK need apply, the majority of students within the
program are from outside the UK. Because of this, I think it is only just and pragmatic to have a non-UK based
student representative to serve as a advocate for non-UK students. If there is any possibility to select a member
from outside the UK (either to come in person or take part in the meetings via Skype / online), I am very eager to
fill the position and have a voice in the program.
I see great room for improvement to the program, and think that with some slight changes it can become much
more successful, especially considering the dismal passage rates in the first year. In my opinion, the foremost
issues to be addressed are the Universities approach to examination preparation for students studying
independent of a learning institution, and maximizing the enormous potential of the VLE.
As can be seen from my records and correspondence with Professor Hamilton (if they are available to you - if not,
it will be worth your while inquiring about them) I am quite sure I will be able to offer a fresh and needed
perspective which can greatly improve our program.
I have attached my CV for your review in case there is a possibility of selecting a non-UK based member.
I hope to hear back from you soon.
Sincerely Yours,
--

Dear Moshe,
Firstly thank you for your email. Secondly, please accept our apologies for the delay of this response. I have
recently started working for the University of London Union (ULU) and specifically with the University of London
International Programmes as the Student Engagement Manager. This means my job is to directly engage with
the student body and ensure mechanisms exist whereby the student voice is heard at the heart of the decision-
making process. As a result, I have just taken over the remit of managing the student membership appointments.
Whilst I agree that the current situation of only UK-based students being eligible for student membership of
International Academy governance arrangements isn't the ideal situation, this is something which is under regular
review. A few years ago saw me being elected President of the University of the London Union, and I have being
working closely with the International Programmes ever since. A number of improvements have been made
pertaining to the student voice in that time, and my new position will ensure we can further build on that.
Whilst it is unfortunate we are unable to process your application this time round, you are clearly a very active
student and someone I would wish to engage with further. As part of my ongoing consultation with students on a
number of iniatives we are hoping to roll out in the coming months, I am creating a consultative list of students
who I will be in regular communication with. Would you wish to be a part of that list? It will hopefully alow further
opportunities for engagement with the International Programmes.
My email is [email protected] .
Best wishes,
Nizam

Why are we seeking a student representative for the Undergraduate Laws Committee?
The International Programmes Undergraduate Laws Programme is currently seeking to appoint two
Student Representatives to sit on the Undergraduate Laws Committee. This committee is the
primary decision-making body for the programme and forms, steers and endorses policy and
initiatives in respect of Undergraduate Laws programmes.
The Undergraduate Laws Committee comprises senior academic staff drawn from the six Law
Schools of the University, including the Heads of each Law School, Subject Co-ordinators and Chairs
of the Board of Examiners, as well as the Director and Assistant Directors of the Undergraduate Laws
Programme. The work of the programme is supported by three sub-Committees responsible for
considering specific themes and functions for the Undergraduate Laws Programme:
Teaching and Learning Institutions Examinations
The purpose of the Student Representative is to provide a voice for students to help inform the
decision-making of the Undergraduate Laws Committee. Given the geographical dispersal of
undergraduate laws students worldwide, it would be impractical and impossible for the Student
Representative to take on board the feedback of the 19,000 plus laws students. However, the
student representative is intended to act as a vital link between the Undergraduate Laws Committee
and the student body as a whole, acting as a channel for the two way communication of feedback. It
is anticipated that technical support will be provided through the Laws Virtual Learning Environment
(VLE) to assist the student representative in gathering feedback from students to report to the
Undergraduate Laws Committee and in turn to communicate feedback and decisions back to
students.
Whilst initial plans focus on the appointment of a student representative for the Undergraduate
Laws Committee, in the future the plan is to establish a student forum or similar network comprising
a group of students representing either specific LLB pathways, Year of study and/or regions of the
world. It is envisaged that such a forum would meet virtually through a dedicated discussion forum
on the Laws VLE and would provide a vital link between the Undergraduate Laws Committee student
representative and the International Programmes laws student body as a whole.
Length of appointment
The length of appointment as a student representative on the Undergraduate Laws Committee is
likely to be one full academic year, although this may be extended to two years in the first year of
operating the student representative scheme.
Eligibility criteria
In addition to the skills and attributes detailed in the application pack, the student representative
will need to:

be based in the United Kingdom. The student representative will need to be available toattend the meetings of the Undergraduate Laws Committee (for information, future
meetings of the Undergraduate Laws Committee are: Wednesday 30 November, 14 March,
and 13 June). Whilst the University will reimburse reasonable travel expenses associated
with attending the meetings in the UK, it is not possible to fund travel from outside the UK;
be registered on the LLB (rather than the Diploma in Law) and have progressed to thesecond year of study or beyond of whichever pathway they are registered on.
Nomination and selection process
Candidates who meet the eligibility criteria identified will be required to complete the application
form , including a statement ofnot more than 300 words (equivalent to a side of A4) indicating their
interest in the role, and demonstrating how they satisfy the skills and attributes identified. No
references are required.
The deadline for receipt of nominations is 5pm on Monday 10 October 2011. All submissions must
be sent via email to the International Programmes Quality Team
[email protected] detailed in the application pack. Nominations will be
assessed by a small Panel convened for this purpose.
