Dr Jake Bailey

Overview

As Associate Dean Student Engagement, Jake is driven to support all students within Cardiff School of Sport and Health Sciences have an outstanding learning experience.

Jake’s expertise lies in curriculum design and delivery. His recent work on the undergraduate portfolio of sport courses led to a successful validation and implementation of curriculum change that affected more than 100 staff and nearly 2000 students. The redesigned portfolio received five commendations from the expert review panel, including for the incorporation of a civic mission project, Open Campus, into the fabric of the curriculum. Over the past two years, Open Campus has given thousands of children from local communities the opportunity to participate in sport and physical activity, led by our students in Cardiff Met’s world-class facilities.

Since taking on the role of Associate Dean Student Engagement, Jake has been working with the Health Programmes to build on their considerable successes and excellent reputation. These programmes, integral to the identity of Cardiff Met and which make such an impact to Welsh and UK society, require careful stewardship as they respond to both the changing health needs of the population and Government policy. I am proud to work in a school that is supporting the Covid-19 response, through the provision of vital equipment to the NHS and other partners, and by engaging in research on the disease.

Jake’s work in curriculum design and pedgogy was recognised by the Higher Education Academy, who accepted Jake as a Senior Fellow in 2014.
