Hello, I’m Dr Hassaan Khan, Head of the School of Management & Executive Education at Arden University. I’ve been with Arden since July 2021, supporting staff and students to achieve success. I hold a BSc (Hons) in Accounting and Finance from the University of Kent, followed by an MSc and PhD in Finance from Durham University. I’ve worked in academia since 2010.

Before joining Arden, I was Associate Dean at Global Banking School, overseeing Finance and Business Management degrees.

My career also includes roles as Director of the Centre for Financial Research at Anglia Ruskin University, Entrepreneur Scholar at Judge Business School, and Teaching Assistant at Durham University.
