New Podcast 🎙️ My guest, Sarah Agar-Brennan, joins me to discuss her work as Head of Commercialisation at the University of Hull.

Sarah discusses her former life as a business owner and entrepreneur; her successes and failures; the experience of appearing on BBC's Dragons' Den; and why University is the best time to start a business and begin your journey as an entrepreneur with all of the benefits can come from being part of a university eco-system, beyond the academic qualifications.

NEW PODCAST 🌟 🎙️ Do we need to rethink University and Higher Education?

I'm joined by the Dean of LIS - The London Interdisciplinary School, Prof. Carl Gombrich. Carl is the creator of the UK's first Arts and Science Degree at UCL and believes that an interdisciplinary approach to higher education is needed to enable students to be able to tackle the complex challenges we face in the world and be armed with a breadth of skills and knowledge to thrive and succeed in the careers of tomorrow (or today).

This insightful chat challenged the existing higher education system and showed how universities must evolve their offer to adapt to an advancing world.

Do universities need to adapt their offer? Is an interdisciplinary approach to education needed?

This is 'Shifting Views with Willis' Podcast.
