Staff-student committees

The Classics department runs two Staff-Student Committees, or SSCs. One looks at the concerns of undergraduate students and the other represents the interests of postgraduate taught and postgraduate research students. The committees meet three times over the course of the academic year, and play an important role in the department as a forum for airing student views. 

The committees are made up of student representatives from each stage of the programmes offered by the department. We also include, where possible, representatives of joint honours students and overseas students. Student representatives are elected at the start of each academic year by their peers; elected representatives receive training from the Students' Union to help them carry out this role. At least two members of staff also sit on the committee. The committee is chaired by a student representative.

Minutes of each SSC meeting are posted on our Moodle page shortly after each meeting, and are circulated by e-mail to staff and the student body.

You can use the committees to raise any issues which concern students. To find out who your student representative is, please contact our administrator, Mrs. Sue Turnbull

If you have an issue you would like to raise before the next meeting of the staff-student committee, the department operates a special 'drop-box' e-mail address overseen by our departmental manager, Mrs. Scrivner. Any e-mails sent to this address will be anonymised before being sent to the relevant staff member. This is an opportunity to bring any minor issues to our attention so they can be addressed quickly, to let us know about problems with Moodle and TurnItIn, or to raise an issue in advance of the SSC meeting so that we can investigate it and have an answer for you straight away.
