Abdur Rahman Tanim
Hi! I’m Tanim (he/him), your Vice President of Activities and Employability. I recently graduated with a First-Class Honours degree in Computer Science from LSBU.
I’m from Sylhet, Bangladesh, and my journey to LSBU had its ups and downs, including a gap year, visa challenges, and dealing with the impact of COVID-19. But moving to London in 2021 was a turning point, and I’m proud to now call LSBU my home.
I’m passionate about helping students get the most out of their time here, whether through exciting activities or career opportunities. Let’s make this year unforgettable!

How I got involved in the SU
My first year at LSBU was challenging, as I had to step out of my comfort zone, adapt to a new culture, and navigate the impact of COVID-19, including online classes, restrictions, and limited social interaction. However, things began to improve in my second year when I joined various societies and communities and participated in events run by the Students' Union.
These experiences not only helped me make friends but also ignited my passion for student representation. Motivated by the desire to support fellow international students, I ran for and was elected as the International Student Officer, spending two years advocating for our community. This experience opened the opportunity to run for Vice President of Activities and Employability, where I could further increase my impact and help more students make the most of their university experience. I am delighted to have won the election and am excited to serve in this role.
As Vice President of Activities & Employability, I am committed to enhancing your time at LSBU through engaging activities, career development opportunities, and advocating for your needs, all to prepare you for a successful future.
