Is the well‐known phrase ‘small is beautiful’ true of small transnational education institutions?

open access: yesBritish Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract The purpose of this research is to consider the potential attractiveness of operating a small international branch campus (IBC). Drawing upon resource‐based and legitimacy theories, we examine the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats associated with the business model that is based on having a small institution size.

Three-dimensional boundary layer flow and heat/mass transfer through stagnation point flow of hybrid nanofluid

open access: yesJournal of Engineering and Applied Science
This project covers the investigation of the boundary layer flow of a hybrid nanofluid past a biaxial stretching/shrinking sheet. The hybrid nanofluid consists of copper (Cu) and alumina ( $${Al}_{2}{O}_{3}$$ Al 2 O 3 ) nanoparticles, which are diluted ...

‘It's all very well having a diverse curriculum, but if there is no curriculum, it can be as diverse as you like’: Precarity and decolonising in the neoliberal UK higher education system

open access: yesBritish Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Drawing upon interview research across two academic departments as part of the early stages of a ‘decolonise the curriculum’ initiative at a Southern UK university, this study highlights a growing gulf between policy and practice in efforts to address systemic racial inequalities in UK universities. A reliance upon precarious labour, a culture

Oblique Stagnation Point Flows

open access: yes, 2012
In this thesis, we study the oblique stagnation point flow of a Newtonian fluid on different types of boundaries such as a vertical surface, stretching sheet and shrinking sheet. This study is also examined the effects of heat transfer, chemical reaction, forced convection and mixed convection on oblique stagnation point flow.

Migrant success in UK Education: Are there lessons for government social mobility policy?

open access: yesBritish Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract The school achievement and career aspirations of 23 sixth form students at a multi‐cultural urban academy in the UK are explored through interviews. The sample includes 16 s‐generation migrants, 6 UK‐born students with migrant parents and 1 UK‐born student, selected to represent a cohort of over 300 post‐16 learners.
