Biography
Angelos is the Associate Dean (Global Engagement) in the Faculty of Science & Technology, Bournemouth University. He received his PhD in Information Systems Education from Loughborough University. Angelos has held various academic roles over the years and has extensive teaching experience in the areas of Computing and Information Management. He also has extensive experience in the design, management and delivery of professionally accredited CPD courses to IT companies and organisations. In addition, he has held various academic management positions and worked externally with numerous universities in the UK and overseas. His current role involves providing leadership, operational development and delivery of the Bournemouth University’s Global Engagement plan by supporting recruitment, international partnerships, students and staff mobility, education, research and professional practice activities on and off campus.
Angelos’ research interests lie in the educational aspects of Computing and Information Management, focusing specifically on the issue of the alignment of academic curricula with industry needs... The need for such work stems from the well document problem which many define as a misalignment between what universities teach and what employers need from graduates. Businesses in the UK and abroad have been reporting a decreasing supply of skilled workers capable of coping with the constantly changing technology used by industry. This is seen by many employers as a “threat to their business”. It is important, therefore, to investigate the “skills gap” and innovative ways of addressing it by working alongside businesses and academic institutions.
