Staff Student Liaison Committee

The Student Staff Liaison Committee (SSLC) provides a relatively informal means for communication between staff and students about the quality of teaching and facilities within the School of Civil Engineering. The functions of the SSLC are to:

  • provide an outlet for the expression of students views or concerns about the course or educational facilities;
  • establish a platform on which feedback on these concerns can be provided, and on which proposals for improvement can be discussed;
  • provide a mechanism for discussion about individual units with members of staff not involved in that unit;
  • assist with representative assessment of teaching quality for each unit and across the course as a whole;
  • provide student input to School policy decisions; and
  • actively promote discussion between staff and students over a range of issues.

Issues discussed by the committee will be conveyed by the Head of School to other members of staff where appropriate.

Students should always feel welcome to make any feedback or give any comments about any aspect of their University experience at any stage. It is acknowledged that some students may feel uneasy discussing some topics with a member of staff, and perhaps their year student representative can approach staff on their behalf. Contact details for staff & student members of the SSLC are given below.
