Professor Ian McNay is a Professor Emeritus for Higher Education and Management in the School of Education at the 秋葵视频.

Ian joined the university in 1997 as head of the former School of Post-compulsory Education and Training and thereafter re-appointed as a professor. He has since taught at graduate level, supervised students and mentored colleagues.

His previous roles are a mix of academic, managerial and advisory, and include leading on Continuing Professional Development (CPD) programmes in Mexico, Indonesia, Ukraine, Switzerland, Spain and countries in between. He has taught in three languages and been published in five.

He has received numerous grants, some include policy analysis from (former) UKCC on nursing , midwifery and health visiting; Universities Scotland for CPD teaching material on strategic management; EU/CVCP on European academic networking; European Training Foundation for different projects on management development; and ESRC for a seminar series on the future of higher education.

At the Open University, he was instrumental in initiating the debate which led to offering teacher training and law courses, as well as developing papers that changed government policy on funding for INSET students and levels of undergraduate intake, which enabled a dramatic increase in annual levels of funding.

At the 秋葵视频, he prepared a case study that led to equity of government student funding on PGCE courses compared to school related provision, achieving an increase in university income and led towards flexible provision in a changing market.

He has written an invited paper for UNESCO on assessing research quality, and an invited entry on research assessment approaches around the world for the International Encyclopaedia of Higher Education. A further report on Higher Education and Human Good (with Jennifer Bone, funded by a private foundation) was called in evidence by the Parliamentary Select Committee on the future of higher education.

The official history of City University Business School reports the significant impact of a programme run for senior managers in changing the strategic direction and approaches of the school. The Office for Students (OfS) (previously known as HFCE) Director of Research Enterprise and Skills, mentioned at a plenary lecture at Greenwich university, acknowledgement of Professor McNay where a course led by him had changed his career direction and elevated him to his current post.
