Dr Abdul Waheed Mughal
Research Fellow
Summary
I was brought up and schooled in a small village in Punjab, Pakistan. During my journey from an open sky school of a remote village to the highly reputed UK universities, I experienced different education systems, teaching and learning cultures, and social interaction with diverse learning communities. This experience furthered my teaching skills and enhanced understanding about the culturally embedded learning needs of diverse student population. I have more than ten years of experience of teaching Business Studies in the UK higher education sector. Most recently, I taught at two affiliated campuses of London Metropolitan University in London for four years before I joined the Brunel University.
