Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

TalkingHE - Episode 67 - Dominic Pates - Interdisciplinary Sustainability and Climate Change at City St. Georges
Q: How long did the design process take and who was involved?
The idea emerged in mid-2022 and launched in early 2025 after two and a half years of inclusive design, involving staff, students, a cross-school representative group, leadership buy-in, and collaboration with the law school for a home base.
TalkingHE - Episode 67 - Dominic Pates - Interdisciplinary Sustainability and Climate Change at City St. Georges
Q: Why did you decide to develop this interdisciplinary module on sustainability and climate change at City St.Georges?
The decision came from a convergence of personal motivation about climate action and institutional pressure to improve sustainability outcomes; the aim was to create a vehicle that integrated digital education with real-world climate issues and empowered students to act in their careers.
TalkingHE - Episode 62 - Dr Antony Aleksiev - Alternative Measures of Success in Higher Education
Q: What are your critiques of the proposed TEF changes?
The changes seem to treat quality largely as a compliance exercise, prioritising continuation and completion over meaningful educational impact, and they move away from educational gain, which weakens the ability to reflect true learning outcomes and address equity across disciplines.
TalkingHE - Episode 62 - Dr Antony Aleksiev - Alternative Measures of Success in Higher Education
Q: Why do we need to measure success in higher education?
Measuring success helps students see what they have learned and how it translates to skills and employability, clarifies the value added by higher education, and provides a way to assess whether institutions are delivering meaningful learning and outcomes beyond mere numbers.
TalkingHE - Episode 64 - Professor Scott Bowman - Postgraduate Education Reimagined Australian Style
Q: Where do you see the London campus in two to five years?
Plans include expanding programs (MBA variants, cyber security, educational and health management), potential research activity, closer integration with UK higher education, and bridging options for students to spend time in Australia.
