Student-Staff Panels (SSPs) provide a formal channel for Student Academic Reps to meet with staff and to discuss issues related to their educational experience.  They also provide an opportunity for the School to consult with students and receive feedback on new proposals.

The SSPs are led by student representatives from each programme of study and consider all matters of concern to students within programmes, including teaching methods, library facilities and computing facilities.  In addition, they also consider matters relating to ways in which the programmes could be made more attractive to potential students, academically stronger or more professionally relevant.  SSP meetings are normally held at least once per term.

A whole School undergraduate SSP also meets for students to share similarities and common issues relevant to all, as well as gaining a greater insight into each other’s discipline and exchanging ideas and experiences.
