Student Experience Forum (STEF)

The Student Experience Forum (STEF) was formed in 2019.  Its aim is to enhance the student experience for Social and Political Sciences' (SPS) students by supporting our School student societies and building a stronger student community within the School. The Forum comprises SPS student society representatives as well as staff from the School, and College of Social Sciences.
 
STEF organises events throughout the year and a Digital Yearbook for our graduating class. 
 
If you would like to know more about STEF please contact Linzi Crawford, the School's Student Experience Manager.  
 
Please visit our Student Societies web page for information on the societies within SPS and how you can get involved. 
 
You can also follow the School on TwitterInstagram, TikTok, LinkedIn and Facebook to find out more on news, events, and research.
