Student Voice

Each term we have a meeting called the MSc Student Staff Liaison Committee (SSLC), meets to provide a forum for students to discuss courses and programmes with staff and to make suggestions on issues that affect the student body as a whole. These meetings comprise of Academic Representatives from each programme, Programme Directors and other key staff from the Department. 
 
This committee meets to provide a forum for students to discuss courses and programmes with staff and to make suggestions on issues that affect the student body as a whole.  

Student representatives are expected to represent the whole cohort in their programme, to feedback accurately to their cohort about meetings attended, and to be responsible for representing the views of their peers. Names and contact details of student representatives, and agendas and minutes of SSLC meetings will be published on Moodle.

If you have any suggestions or concerns, we aim to respond to these promptly and constructively.   
 
If you have a concern about a course, your programme or any aspect of the Department’s activities, you are invited to raise this as early as possible with any of the following: 
 
• The relevant course teacher or Course Convenor  
• Your Programme Director 
• The relevant Student/Staff Liaison Committee (SSLC) student representatives for your programme 
• The Department Manager  
• The Director of Graduate Studies 
• The Head of Department

LSE itself also has a procedure for student concerns. Should you decide to express a concern outside the Department, we ask that you also inform the Head of Department so that they are aware of any problems. 
 
Reporting an issue

Representation and campaigning is at the core of what goes on at the Students’ Union, and we're proud at LS to be one of the most politically active and democratic Students' Unions in the country. 

LSESU are led by Student Representatives who ensure that you get the opportunity to make changes within LSESU, the School and wider society.
