Fiji National University Vice-Chancellor Professor Nigel Healey graduated from Nottingham Trent University in England with his second PhD earlier this month.
The title of the PhD “Transnational education: oversexed, oversold and over there?”is inspired by the phrase used by British civilians to describe US troops based there during World War II – “Oversexed, overpaid and over here”.
It is a PhD by Published Work and comprises 11 research papers on the phenomenon of transnational (cross-border) higher education which were published between 2008 and 2018, plus an introductory chapter demonstrating that the 11 papers constitute a single body of work which makes it an original contribution.
Professor Healey previously worked at Nottingham Trent University as the Head of the College of Business, Law and Social Sciences and Pro-Vice-Chancellor (International), prior to joining FNU in August 2016.
