He has launched a research paper which calls for a renewed effort to put the UK higher education sector at the forefront of global university partnerships.

“Until we sort out the housing situation in Bath, there is always going to be a shortage and it then becomes costly.
It is very important that we welcome those from other countries to learn at a University that has excellent staffing and it world renown.
I hope that in the future things will change very quickly, and this will only enhance the city, and those who live and study here.”

“I fully support internationalism which is why i am in favour of the International Baccalaureate instead of GCSEs. But because of the shortage of affordable accommodation within Bath i also wish to see the university make a determined effort to provide accommodation for the influx of overseas students which already constitue more than 25% of the student population.”

“This can work with law too. International law is very difficult to resolve within child access issues. We have been working on the subject of Mediation, and this is a step forward in preventing undue expense for those involved.
Anything that promotes a better understandings and outcomes is very important.
Your ideas are a large step forward.”
