MANAGERIAL EXPERIENCE

My managerial experience at the University of Ulster has largely been based around the development and administration of undergraduate and postgraduate programmes. Current and previous areas of administrative responsibility comprise the following:

1992 - 96 Course Director   PGD/MSc Property Development
1996 - 01 Course Director (Assistant) BSc (Hons) Surveying with specialisms
2002 -  Course Director  BSc (Hons) Property Investment & Development (FT and PT)

I currently have responsibility for the administration and organisation of the above honours undergraduate degree programme and the programme line manager for a number of staff responsible for the delivery of the subjects. In addition, from a research perspective I have a mentoring role for developing younger, junior colleagues. This essentially involves getting their involvement in preparing grant applications through to effectively executing the research project.

Whilst at Lincoln University, Christchurch New Zealand I held the position of Professor of Property Studies and Head of the Property Group. This role involved the day-to-day management of those staff within the property group in terms of delivery of undergraduate and postgraduate modules/subjects. In addition, I represented the Property Group at Division/Faculty level, had responsibility for the research direction of the group and in leading the future shape of the programs being offered.

I have been involved in teaching real estate programmes in several countries including Australia, New Zealand, Poland and Jamaica. In addition, I have been an advisor on developing real estate degree programmes in Jamaica and Northern Ireland; in addition have advised on real estate education in South Africa, Kosovo and Poland. Training of valuers has also been an important aspect of my professional work with projects in Kosovo, Jamaica, China and Malaysia.
