SSCC (research students)


The Staff-Student Consultative Committee for research students (SSCC-PGR) provides a forum for discussion between the staff and students of the School and offers an opportunity for concerns or questions to be raised by students. It observes the UCL Policy for Staff-Student Consultative Committees, as described in the UCL Academic Manual, Section H3.

The SSCC comprises:

  • One student representative from each research degree programme;
  • The School Director of Research;

Meetings

Student representatives are elected by other students at the beginning of the Autumn Term and serve for the full academic year.

Meetings take place twice a year. Scheduled meeting dates are given in the Meetings page of the School website. Additional meetings may take place as agreed by the student representatives and the School Postgraduate Programmes Tutor.

Meetings are chaired by the School Postgraduate Programmes Tutor, who solicits items for the agenda at least one week in advance. The Postgraduate Programmes Officer normally act as secretary to the committee. Minutes are taken and posted in the Meetings page of the School website.
