Applying To University? The Benefits of Academia and Courses - School of Aviation and Security, BSc Intelligence, Security and Resilience - at Buckinghamshire New University #bnu There is a lot of debate about the usefulness of academics and universities at the moment. So I thought I would post a personal reflection on this. From an academic's perspective there are probably three key drivers to professional life: 1. To successfully teach/educate students/learners so that they are prepared for and can gain employment in a field of their choice. 2. To develop ideas of relevance to students/learners and society through research and dialectic. 3. To see those students/learners exceed expectations and for developed ideas to be recognised in wider society/the world. I celebrate a year at #bnu this month and it has been a fantastic experience in many ways but principally: 1. The values of the University, particularly in regard to diversity, inclusion, achievement and employability, mean that many underprivileged and challenged students/learners do better than they or their A-Level results might have indicated. (Servicemen and Ex- Servicemen also do very well here). The Government needs to understand this - A Levels have never been a true forecast of University attainment. 2. It has been a pleasure to demonstrably prove this point in the cohorts I have taught in Intelligence, Security and Resilience with colleagues Fiona Galbraith and Mike Croll, in particular. 3. I have been able to develop new ideas through research that have been applied to teaching, thus courses are up to date and relevant. 4. I have spoken at the United Nations, to national businesses and groups, and to international audiences. Shortly I return to speak at the United Nations and will be talking to International Business Audiences in October and November at the Technical University of Sofia and the University of London. Research is important here. So, whether you are an academic or a potential student/learner #bnu has a lot to offer both. It exposes the lie to many of the negative stories on universities recently in the press and in politics. So if you are a student/learner looking for the right place to study, or an academic looking for a place to flourish then try #bnu. https://bit.ly/47f5duA #BNUClearing #Clearing2023 #ApplyingtoUNI https:lnkd.in/eqPVancQ School Student Application for BSc Intelligence, Security and Resilience: https://lnkd.in/e_ccdbHH #myBNUjobsISR #applyingtouniversity #clearing #clearing2023 #bnu #academia #diversity #diveristyandinclusion #inclusion #employability #LGBTQ+ #employability #reachyourpotential #aviation #secuirty #intelligence #resilience

Imperial College London academics collaborated with Chinese institutions linked to the military-industrial complex on at least five studies since 2023, according to the Financial Times. The research included material limits of high-strength steel, high-powered batteries, strengthening titanium alloy, electromagnetic interference shielding, and blast response of fibre-metal laminate panels. Concerns about potential military applications have prompted UK officials, including Deputy Prime Minister Oliver Dowden, to review academic sector protections. Imperial, a leading Sino-British collaborator, asserts adherence to national security commitments and open research practices, while critics highlight risks of unwitting contributions to Beijing's military complex. Avoid unnecessary risk while continuing open collaboration by contacting IPTalons. We have the tools and experts you need to partner globally while protecting your innovation. https://lnkd.in/dVfTQmEa

Canada releases its long-awaited Policy on Sensitive Technology Research and Affiliations of Concern - it denies funding for sensitive technology research areas connected to military, national defence, or state security entities that are viewed as posing a risk to Canada’s national security. Key overlaps here with export controls and sanctions law and policy. The Policy covers a broad range of sensitive technologies, including Digital Infrastructure Technology, Energy Technology, Materials and Manufacturing, Sensing and Surveillance, Weapons, Aerospace, Space and Satellite, Artificial Intelligence and Big Data, Human-Machine Integration, Life Science Technology (Biotechnology and Medical and Healthcare Technology), Quantum Science and Technology, and Robotics and Autonomous Systems. The Policy also identifies specific research organizations and institutions in China, Iran and Russia that pose the highest risk to Canada’s national security due to their direct or indirect connections with military, national defence, and state security entities. #ResearchAndDevelopment #NationalSecurity #sanctions #ExportControls #China #Iran #Russia #universities
