Liz Lye
Course leader for MSc International Marketing and MSc Strategic Marketing
I worked in the publicity and editorial departments for several fiction and non fiction publishing companies in London after graduating in English literature. I also worked for a year with an events and conference organisation that involved European travel.
I was a member of the National Union of Journalists for some years and was involved in PR activities. I went on to manage marketing departments in publishing houses before moving to Sheffield. I took a maternity break during which I freelanced as a copy editor and proof reader as well as copy writing for government departments.
I managed marketing teams in Higher Education on my return to full-time work and studied my masters as a mature student. I began lecturing for Oxford College of Marketing in 2000, delivering intensive and distance learning Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM) courses before taking a full-time permanent job as a senior lecturer at Sheffield Hallam University in 2009.
I am committed to the employability agenda for Sheffield Hallam University, working with placement students and providers and negotiating consultancy projects.
As course leader for the MSc International Marketing and MSc Strategic Marketing, I develop learning and teaching practices that are relevant to international, UK and European students.
