Sargent Centre Student Reps

Mohamed Maher and Tanuj Karia are Sargent Centre Student Reps. Mohamed and Tanuj work tirelessly on behalf of Sargent Centre students. They represent students views to Sargent Centre Management and provides feedback from students. It is essential that students make the effort to communicate issues of concern. This can be positive feedback on aspects which work well (and thus might be shared as good practice) as well as concerns about issues which negatively affect the student experience. The Student Reps will also be invited to comment on, and provide input to proposed changes to procedures and will decimate information to their peers. The overall aim is to improve the learning experience for Sargent Centre students. You can contact your Student Reps via email:

If you are interested in becoming a representative and would like more information, please contact the Sargent Centre at sargent.centre@imperial.ac.uk
