Rahma Hegy|BLSA PRESIDENT 2024/25

Congratulations on getting into Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry!

Welcome to the BL community! You’ve achieved an incredible milestone, and you should be extremely proud.

I’m Rahma, this year's President of the Barts and the London Students' Association (BLSA). Our association helps enrich your university experience, supporting student groups and working on enhancing your academic journey.

We provide a diverse range of societies, including academic, faith-based, cultural, and artistic groups, alongside competitive sports teams and impactful volunteering projects. Our BLSA events and initiatives throughout the year aim to inspire and engage you.

I encourage you all to get involved in BLSA: join a club, start a society, represent your peers, and help champion the student voice. These experiences will help you explore your passions, forge lifelong friendships, and create unforgettable memories.

As you embark on this journey, remember that true success lies in personal growth and community involvement. A quote that has guided me is: "If you leave university with just a degree, know you have failed" (Dr. Wajid Akhter). Work on developing as a person and as a future healthcare professional, and help strengthen our community.

We are committed to make your transition into university as enjoyable and smooth as it can be.

We’re here to support you, so don’t hesitate to reach out or visit the BLSA office. I wish you all the best for start of such an incredible journey!
