Harry joined the University as Head of Chinese Centre in March 1996, when China started to open up its education market to the world. The Centre at that time demonstrated that the University was innovative and ahead of the most UK universities in terms of internationalisation. He has been present over the last 14-15 years and has played a big part in the development of the University of Bedfordshire.

"Before I joined the University I was researching vertebral osteoporosis at the University of Manchester. I chose to come to Bedfordshire as I felt it represented a new breed of University: constantly trying to improve itself and focusing very much on the quality of the student experience. I wasn't wrong either! The University remains forward-looking, entrepreneurial in nature and has proved to be successful both regionally and internationally."
Nasir leads the international marketing and student recruitment team to promote the University overseas in all dimensions including student recruitment, partnership and institutional/collaborative activities, development recruitment strategy and determining and identifying new market opportunities. Nasir also undertakes overseas travel in order to represent the University at promotional events such as exhibition and educational recruitment fairs. His responsibilities also extend to helping and supporting overseas students throughout the year, enabling them to have smooth and great educational experiences while they are at the University.
He also works closely with the International Admissions team to ensure admissions tasks (from course enquiry and application to offer letters and enrolment) are carried out swiftly and as smoothly as possible.
"I joined the University in 2009 as International Marketing Manager before moving into my current role. I chose the University of Bedfordshire because it has a great working environment with a lot of potential for growth. I like university’s multicultural and dynamic environment which allows me to meet overseas students from different cultures and backgrounds. Colleagues in the International Office are very friendly, courageous and supportive which has certainly made my job much more interesting and rewarding and I enjoy it thoroughly.”
