Find out about the actions we have implemented based on the feedback we have received from students.
- You asked for more flexibility in choosing courses, so we updated the programme regulations. We reduced the number of core courses and gave you greater choice over the courses you study.
- You asked for the Summer Ethnography Project application deadline to be moved, so we moved the application deadline to Easter so it no longer overlaps with revising for Spring Term exams.
- You asked the department to support community building, so we introduced the Student Community Ambassadors roles to host weekly student events in the common room.
- You asked for more tailored careers support, we have introduced a tailored careers webpage and programme of events (including 2 alumni events and a skills session) with the support of our careers advisor, Ladan Mirzadeh Hong. https://www.lse.ac.uk/anthropology/Current-Students/Careers
- You asked for opportunities to speak to faculty outside of class, so we introduced a new social event for students and faculty to chat informally once a term.
- You asked for more vareity in courses, we introduced new options such as Mind & Society, Environmental Anthropology and Digital Anthropology.
- The Department were among the first at LSE to offer e-exams for all our on-campus exams, giving students the choice whether to handwrite or type their exam answers.

Student-Staff Liaison Committee (SSLC).
At the start of the academic year, one or two students from each year of each degree programme are elected to be Student Academic representatives.
Student Academic Representatives represent their peers at the departmental Student-Staff Liaison Committee (SSLC) meetings. By attending these meetings, Academic Reps play a critical role in making sure student issues are addressed, by giving feedback on the quality of their programme and experiences as LSE students.
There is one SSLC for undergraduate students and one SSLC taught postgraduate students. Each SSLC meets once in the Autumn and Winter terms, and they are chaired by either the UG or MSc Departmental Tutor.
All current students can access the information about our SSLCs, including Student Representative names, previous committee minutes and other relevant details - please access the webpage linked on the right-hand side of this page.
Student Surveys
During the academic year, students will have the opportunity to feedback on specific courses through course-level surveys and on the experience at LSE as a whole in the Undergraduate Survey (for continuing undergraduates), National Student Survey (for finalist undergraduates) or the Postgraduate Survey (for continuing and finalist postgraduates).
If throughout the year students have other feedback to share with the department, please email anthro.admin@lse.ac.uk with your feedback.
