The other thing to love is its humanity - it is insightful and borne of a deep concern about how students transition from higher education to working life and citizenship. - Jane Artess, Director of Research, Higher Education Careers Services Unit (HECSU), UK Author Biography Paul Dowson has a business background and gained his MBA from the University of Leeds in 1992.
