The Education Committee also aims to stay tasked with developing the education at SSE. The board does this in a variety of ways, notably by benchmarking against other leading business schools via both conferences with partner associations and the annual Educational Benchmarking Trip. This trip has previously focused on Internationalisation, Student Impact and Digitalisation in Education. This fall the Education Committee Board will be travelling to the U.S East Coast to look at “Business Curricula from its practical and theoretical applications”. The resultant findings from these trips are then used to augment the committee’s work to develop SSE further.
