Prof Khaled Assaleh joins Prof Judyth Sachs for an engaging dive into his journey across academia, industry, and HE leadership - all sparked by an early interest in electronics.

Prof Assaleh speaks about his experience as an international student, and the importance of formal and informal support systems; the value of industry experience and how it's informed his teaching; whether traditional degrees are adequately preparing today's graduates; and how Ajman University is responding to key disruptions in higher education. Enjoy this new episode, with the second leader from a UAE university we've had on the podcast.
