Dr Becky Lees

After completing my undergraduate degree at Kingston Business School, I returned as a member of staff in 2000. In my time here I have lectured in quantitative methods, management science and information management as well as held a variety of course management and quality focused roles. I am currently Head of Department for Accounting, Finance and Informatics and School Lead for Assurance of Learning.

I hold a PhD in Educational Research from Lancaster University. My interests lie within pedagogic research in higher education, focusing on the student journey from transition to HE, through their learning and assessment experience, to skills development to support employability and students' next steps. I am particularly interested in supporting students to achieve programme learning outcomes, and the development of continuity, collaboration and co-construction in assessment across a student's degree programme.

I am a senior fellow of the HEA and hold a Postgraduate Certificate in Teaching and Learning in Higher Education. I am a University Teaching Fellow and have achieved Certified Management and Business Educator status from the Chartered Association of Business Schools.
