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, an undergraduate and postgraduate representative, as well as staff from the School, and College of Social Sciences.
 
The group meets regularly throughout each semester to plan events, share ideas and evaluate ways to make student life even more vibrant.
 
STEF organises and hosts a range of different events throughout the year and a Digital Yearbook of memories for our graduating class at the end of each academic year. 
 
If you would like to know more about STEF please contact Linzi Crawford, the School's Student Experience Manager.
