United Kingdom Singapore Students' Council
The United Kingdom Singapore Students' Council (or The UKSSC) is a student body which represents the interests of Singaporean students in universities within the United Kingdom. It continually strives to connect Singaporean students studying in the UK (The South, Greater London, Midlands, the North and Scotland) through promoting participation in events across institutions, alumni groups and other affiliated organisations, serving as a resource or support for Singaporean students in universities which may not have an established Singapore Society, as well as initiating platforms for networking so as to contribute to a more vibrant scene amongst the Singaporean student community in the United Kingdom.
The current acting Presidents of The UKSSC are Mr Bryan Toh and Ms Teresa Liew.
Background
The UKSSC was formed in August 1998, after the idea of an umbrella organisation for Singaporean Student Associations was first mooted by Jayson Goh. This was followed by the first Annual General Meeting of The UKSSC in the same year, which was chaired by Thomas Wee. Since then, The UKSSC has undergone a number of structural changes to meet the needs of the increasing number of Singaporean students in the UK. As of 2012, The UKSSC represents 45 official Partner Societies.
