Teaching

I have taught at a tertiary level in Australia, England, and Scotland.  This not only allows me to teach a variety of subjects, but also different education systems and pedagogical approaches. And of course it introduces me to a wide-range of interesting students!  Although it does mean lots of faces to remember…  Some of the units / modules I have been involved in are described below.

I have previously acted as a lead for two taught-postgraduate courses and am currently Programme Leader for the MRes Natural and Social Systems course in development at SRUC. I also supervise a number of Honours, Masters and PhD students (see My Lab).
