About Dr Kym Maria Drady
I have worked at the University for 12 years. My primary interests are in creativity and learning and development.
I have a PhD in Creative Learning and explored the long-term benefits of teaching creative techniques and the impact they have on individuals and workplace processes. The research explored the transfer of creativity techniques from the classroom to the workplace.
I am a member of several creativity special interest groups and the HE Creativity Forum.
Teaching and supervision
I am Programme Leader for MSc Human Resource Management.
I am a personal tutor and teach a variety of undergraduate modules, supervising applied work-based projects, creative learning and talent development, professional practice, and human resource management.
At postgraduate level, I am responsible for supervising employer-based management reports, reflective practice, and learning and talent development.
Research
I undertake research on the effectiveness of creative interventions on students, and the longitudinal impact on the students once they return to the workplace.
