Through fostering a welcoming and supportive environment for all forms of feedback in the SSLC, we can drive positive change.

“Ensuring that students in the School of Economics have access to a clear, consistent, and reliable channel for voicing their feedback acts as my biggest driver in undertaking the role of SSLC Secretary. Whether the feedback is about things like courses to support services, I want to make sure these insights are heard, and to use them to create practical change that makes a difference. This year, I am to bridge the gap between students and staff through tackling issues together in the SSLC, and to drive change.”
Our vision
A student community within the School of Economics that is empowered to be agents of change, and equipped with the appropriate services and knowledge required to influence their teaching and learning requirements – ensuring the best educational experience for all.
Our mission
To improve the education experience for current students by providing a two-way communication channel between staff and the student community within the School of Economics – identifying an appropriate channel for raising questions, concerns or suggested improvements.
Since its inception in 2019, the SSLC has provided valuable student insights that has assisted the School of Economics to implement and improve a number of education services. These have included Program Architecture 2, the use of software (Stata and ‘R’ programs) as well as orientation events for new students.
