Dan Davies is the Dean of the Cardiff School of Education at Cardiff Metropolitan University.

I joined Cardiff Metropolitan University as Dean of the Cardiff School of Education in January 2015.

I graduated with a BSc in Physics from UCL in 1984 and took a PGCE Primary qualification at the Institute of Education in 1985-6 before teaching in primary schools in the Inner London Education Authority and the London Boroughs of Southwark and Lambeth. I spent a period as a Regional Education Officer for the Design Council (1990-92) before studying for a Master's degree in Technology Education at Goldsmiths' University of London. I subsequently worked at Goldsmiths' as a Lecturer in Primary Science Education (1996-8) during which time I started my PhD, which I completed at Bath Spa University in 2001.
