Mr Phil Hackett

I'm a Staff Tutor and Lecturer in the School of Computing and Communications (C&C), where I am Deputy Lead Staff Tutor, helping to support ~30 colleagues. I am also an Associate Lecturer, tutoring on a Level 2 Algorithms & Data Structures module (M269).

My background is in Computer Science and Education, having spent 10+ years as an IT Manager and 12+ years as a Secondary School Teacher, Curriculum Leader and Teacher Trainer.
I have a BSc and MSc in Computer Science incorporating software development, cyber security & networking and project management.

A key part of the Staff Tutor role is to support and develop our 400+ C&C Associate Lecturers. I do this by working with Staff Tutor colleagues to develop best practice and clear policies. I also signpost and produce relevant training materials that empower colleagues to upskill themselves so that they are able to teach our new and emerging curriculum areas.
