Tell us a bit about yourself, your role and your time at Queen Mary
Hi, I'm Pradhuman Singh, your Vice President for Humanities and Social Sciences. I recently completed my LLM at Queen Mary University of London. Before coming to QM, I studied law in India and have always been passionate about leadership, sport, and representing students. As your Vice President, I'm committed to making sure every student feels heard, supported, and empowered to make the most of their university experience. My vision is built around the three values that guided my campaign and continue to shape my work: Clarity, Credibility, and Change.
Favourite spot on any of our campuses?
Qmotion. I've been involved in sports for a long time, so it's a place I visit regularly. I enjoy going to the gym, and it's one of my favourite parts of Qmotion, alongside all the other great facilities it offers. It's a great space to stay active, unwind, and meet people.
If you could recommend one thing the students union offers for students to get involved in, what would it be?
I'd recommend joining a sports club or society. Also, make the most of Students' Union events and volunteering opportunities. They're some of the best ways to meet new people, develop new skills, and make your university experience truly unforgettable.
Top study tip?
Be consistent. It's one of the most important habits, not just for studying but for life. Even if you study for just two focused hours a day, you'll make far more progress than trying to cram everything the night before. Small, consistent efforts every day lead to big results over time.
Tell us about a hobby you do and why you love it
Cricket has been a huge part of my life for over ten years. I love the teamwork, the competition, and the friendships that come with the game. More than that, it has taught me leadership, resilience, discipline, and how to stay calm under pressure, qualities that have helped me both on and off the field.
What's one thing at Queen Mary that you couldn't live without?
The Students' Union. From events and societies to advice and support, it brings the whole student community together and makes university life so much more enjoyable. It's at the heart of the student experience.
What's your ideal day out in London?
Starting the day with a good coffee and some music, playing a competitive cricket match, and finishing the evening with a barbecue and great conversations with friends. That's my perfect day.
What's a piece of advice you'd give to students?
Don't be the shy one. Be the first to start a conversation, introduce yourself, and put yourself out there. Some of the best friendships, opportunities, and experiences begin with a simple "hello." Don't hide in the shadows, you belong here.
If you could have one superhero power, what would it be?
Telepathy. Being able to understand what people are really thinking would help me communicate better, solve problems, and support students more effectively.
What are you most looking forward to this year?
I'm looking forward to meeting students from across the university, listening to their ideas, organising memorable events, and making a real, positive impact on their university experience. Most importantly, I want to help make student life a little easier for everyone.
Favourite sport?
Cricket, without a doubt. I've always been passionate about sports, and if I'm not at work or in meetings, you'll probably find me either on a cricket field or in the gym. I also enjoy playing badminton whenever I get the chance.
