In 2008, Rosemarie was commissioned by the University to develop and validate a Foundation Degree (FdA) in Enterprise & Entrepreneurship: Business Start-Up because of her business/entrepreneurial activities outside of the University. She was also the University’s representative on the committee for Ealing Chamber of commerce.

A continuing engagement with both University and Faculty committees/boards has honed Rosemarie’s understanding of university processes and procedures, including Quality Assurance and Enhancement, which has led to successful Periodic Review engagements.

 

Rosemarie’s past experience extends to being an External at a prominent London university as well as advising the Ministry of Education of an EU country on UK Quality Assurance frameworks with a view to implementing a systematic approach in their Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). This gave her the opportunity to make a professional contribution not only in another institution, but also in another country. It has also allowed her to make valuable contacts in the sector, which has now extended to a wide range of universities across the UK and the EU.

In recent years, Rosemarie has acted as a staff development consultant for major international companies, including the delivery of in-house Personal and Professional Development programmes to senior managers.

 

Being an experienced chair person of validations, as well as developing and validating a wide range of programmes at the University of West London, has given Rosemarie a comprehensive understanding of curriculum development, meeting protocols, working within defined and regulatory frameworks, managing groups of people with disparate interests through complex processes and finding creative solutions to complex problems.
