Dr Mohammad Rezai BSc, MSc, PhD
Associate Head - Partnership
Summary
In my school, I lead on partnerships. This includes working with industry, collaborative provisions in the UK, and collaboration with international partners. My work is both business development and academic. Some of the things I do as a business developer include working with employers to ensure our apprenticeship provisions recruit effectively, and work with further and higher education partners for franchising products. As an academic I would create courses that would meet the needs of employers, government agencies, and partner colleges, and I would ensure effective update and running of the courses. I like the work because it exposes me to organisations internal to the University such as Academic Quality and Standards, and Business Enterprise Skills and Employability, and external such as the employers, Ifate, Ofsted, and Office for Student.
About
I am also the International Student Coordinator for the college. More often than not, international students do not have much time to adjust to a new academic culture. I am responsible for making sure that our international students have a good transition into the student and academic community. I am also a link tutor for courses that our department franchises to colleges and other universities within UK and in other countries.
In my role as the international coordinator, I get to closely work with students to develop and deliver support where it is required. For this, a lot of the time I get help from other students and so please contact me if you'd like to get involved.
