PGT Community PGSSLC

PGSSLC stands for PG Student-Staff Liaison Committee. There are PGSSLCs in each department in the University that feed into both the Students' Union and the University administration.
PGSSLCs are committees made up of elected student representatives and members of staff. They are student-led and provide an area for students and staff to discuss ideas and solve problems connected with teaching, learning and student support.
If you're interested in the work of the PGSSLC, or have an issue you would like to be discussed, you should speak with one of your Course Representatives. If you have questions about the running of the PGSSLC, you should speak with the PGSSLC Chair.

English Language classes

The department is hoping to offer in-sessional English Language classes. These classes are designed for international students that have limited previous experience of writing and speaking English in an academic setting, with the aim of providing them with key skills which will enable them to succeed in their studies. The classes are not suitable for near-native or very advanced speakers of English.

The classes seek to provide input on both writing and speaking skills in English (the main emphasis is on the former). On the writing side, they will look at structuring and writing reports, talking about data and statistics, creating an objective and dispassionate academic style, positioning with regard to the reader, sentence and paragraph structure within the academic field. If students would like, they can also cover discussion and presenting in English skills.

More information on how to register your interest for them will be provided in due course.
