History

The United Kingdom Singapore Students' Council (UKSSC) was formed under the auspices of Contact Singapore in August 1998, after the idea of an umbrella organisation for Singapore student associations was first mooted by Mr Jayson Goh.

The first-ever Annual General Meeting of the UKSSC was chaired by Mr Thomas Wee. Today, the UKSSC has grown into a independent and dynamic student representative body which represents more than 5,000 Singaporean students in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland.

The UKSSC is run by students, for students. It continually strives to raise the profile of Singaporean students studying in the UK through a series of practical and relevant initiatives, and to foster a sense of solidarity amongst the student community as a whole.
