Information about the Student-Staff Liaison Committees (SSLC).

Student Staff Liaison Committee

Student-Staff Liaison Committees (SSLC) are held in every School at the University and are the main forum for staff and students to discuss matters relating to programmes and the student experience. 

Student Staff Liaison Committee for Short Courses & LfA

Due to the short term nature of these courses, contact with your fellow students and the department we therefore ask you to offer direct feedback to us by completing our General Feedback Form, which is sent directly to the Heads of Subject Areas in the Arts, Humanities, Social Sciences, STEM and Languages for All and any feedback give will be anonymous. The feedback you provide will then be used to form the basis of an online SSLC at the end of the term, which you would be able to attend, details can be found below. 

Programme representatives work in partnership with staff to improve the quality of the student experience. SSLCs may cover the following:

  • Reporting good practice taking place on programmes
  • Identifying areas for improvement and suggesting solutions
  • Reporting issues with assessments (e.g. schedules, deadlines, feedback)
  • Access to and content of Learn pages or course wikis
  • Overall pace and balance of content on programmes
  • Teaching space and study space provision
  • Additional support
  • Communication
