As the Executive Dean at TMC Institute in Tashkent I am so lucky to bring my experience to such a wonderful country. I have worked in Higher Education for over 30 years in the UK and have been involved with UK overseas programs for 20 years. During this time, I have worked with Institutions in Tashkent and appreciate how wonderful and gifted the students are.  I now have a chance to work closer with these students in order to enhance their skills.

Being based in the country I feel that this will allow me to have greater in-depth guidance of my academic team. More importantly, I will be able to interact more closely with our students in order to ensure that they have the best learning experience. That is my aim!

I will bring you the highest quality lecturers from across Asia and the UK.
