Biography

Dr Jason Pandya-Wood joined the University of Nottingham Malaysia as the Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences in June 2020. He is responsible for the strategic and operational leadership of six schools (Business, Economics, Education, English, Media, Languages & Cultures, Politics, History & International Relations), one division (Organisational & Applied Psychology), one centre (English Language and Foundation Education) and one department (General Studies).

Jason's starting point is an unwavering belief that universities must be significant and active civic partners in addressing the most pressing economic, social, political, technological and moral challenges of our time. Universities should therefore be of and not just in their communities and industries, and at the very heart of policy debate.

Prior to his appointment, Jason was most recently Director of External Engagement and Strategic Partnerships at Nottingham Trent University (NTU), UK. He led the School's strategy for engagement with local, national and international partners, including an extensive focus on work with Malaysian partners.
