on the Jordanstown campus of the University of Ulster (UU) from 1975 to
2012. After his retirement, he became an Honorary Research Fellow at the
University of Liverpool, working on the development of teaching materials
for international students. He has published in the fields of computerassisted
learning and health economics; his text, “Valuing Health in Practice”
(Routledge (2002)) is based on his PhD, and on his experience developing
the Irish Centre for Pharmacoeoconomics in Dublin. He is also an Honorary
Member of ASET, the UK universities professional placement association.
His interest in teaching international students was stimulated by his
involvement (2010 – 2012) with the UU Business School programmes at UU’s
Birmingham and London Campuses, and by his Senior Teaching Fellowship at
Heriot-Watt University (2013-2014), when he taught MBA students in Dubai,
Edinburgh, and Kuala Lumpur. In September 2014 he worked with students
from the South China Agricultural University to support their entry to the
final year of the UU BSc Business Economics degree.view less
