Nwe Zin Shaung

Nwe Zin Thein Shaung joined the University of Westminster as a Visiting Lecturer in 2023, during her Master's studies. She has extensive experience in HR and recruitment, having held various roles in the field for over a decade. Her passion for management and education led her to shift her career to academia, where she has been able to apply her professional experience to teaching and research.

Nwe holds a Master of Arts in Management with Distinction and a Master of Arts in International Human Resource Management, both from the University of Westminster. She is an Associate Member of the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) and a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA).

Before her academic career, Nwe held leadership roles in HR and recruitment. As Acting Head of HR Operations at PTTEP International Limited, she managed a team and oversaw staff movement, career development, and manpower planning. She also served as a Career Management Officer and Employee Relations Officer, focusing on promotions, talent development, and labour law compliance. In her role as a Senior Talent Acquisition Associate at Myanmar Human Capital Solutions, she specialised in strategic headhunting. These experiences provided her with a strong foundation in organisational management and employee relations, which she now applies to her academic work.

Nwe's research interests are centred on student-staff partnerships and their impact on teaching and learning. Her commitment to advancing knowledge in this area is further demonstrated by her presentation, "Enhancing EDI: Emphasis on Inclusion through Co-designing an HR symposium with students at Westminster Learning & Teaching Symposium 2024" As a dedicated academic partner on multiple Students as Co-creators projects, Nwe works closely with the Centre for Education and Teaching Innovation (CETI) to foster a culture of co-creation. Nwe has also successfully secured approximately £10,000 from The Quintin Hogg Trust to run the project "Next-Gen Leaders: Empowering Students through Engagement and Experience." This project includes two events: "Vision 2025: Insights from Business Giants" and a "Mini-Hackathon," both of which were co-created with students.This work reflects her passion for creating an inclusive and engaging educational environment that empowers students and enhances the overall learning experience.
