Academic Sub-Committee Members

The Academic Sub-Committee (ASC) is all about representing students based on their level of study. Postgraduate students will have different priorities than Undergraduates, Part-Time Study student concerns will differ from Graduate Teaching Assistants'. The ASC is there to ensure all these different student experiences are given a voice, by advising and feeding into the plans of LSESU senior leaders.

All ASC members will receive a £300 honorarium as thankyou for your work representing students.

As an Academic Sub-Committee member you would:

  • Produce a termly report on the student experience of your representative student group
  • Advise the Sabbatical and Part-Time Officers on students’ academic priorities via close communication with the Education Officer
  • Attend relevant Consultative Fora sessions
  • Meet with the other Officers within the Academic Sub-Committee and the Education Officer to discuss issues affecting students across the whole of LSE

Any student can run to be an Academic Sub-Committee Officer as long as they are enrolled on a course at LSE that the Officer role represents. For example, only Postgraduate Research students can run for the position of Postgraduate Research Officer; only Part-Time students can run for the position of Part-Time Study Officer. 

The General Course President represents General Course students during their short time here at LSE. In this role you will be in a unique position to shape the experience of the whole General Course cohort by working directly with the General Course Department.
