Full information about the role the SU plays can be found on the SU website.

    Each department has an SSLC (Student-Staff Liaison Committee) which meets at least four times a year to discuss many aspects of the course. Find out more information about SSLCs.

    You will hear more about the School of Life Sciences SSLC during Welcome Week and subsequently have the opportunity to apply to be on the committee during the first few weeks of term.
