Programme Lead for Work Based and Integrative Studies, a programme that awards FdA, FdSc, BA, BSc and MA, MSc and MBA degrees bringing together academic and work based learning.
Pippa’s students study part-time around work or substantial volunteering roles. She is currently reading for a Master of Science in Sustainable Development from the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London, with a research focus on aging populations and the Sustainable Development Goals.
I am a passionate believer in the power of education, I truly love facilitating people’s lifelong learning, taking real pleasure from watching students grow and develop, in awe of the drive and dedication students show to their studies. Away from UCM, I can often be found covered in oil fettling with my 30 year old Land Rover or on the hills walking my dogs.
