Staff Profile
Dr Muhammad Salman Shabbir
Senior Lecturer
I am currently a Senior Lecturer in Entrepreneurship and Innovation at the London Campus of York St John University. Before my current role, my academic journey took me through several esteemed positions. From 2019 to 2023, I was with Universiti Brunei Darussalam (UBD) and the College of Commerce and Business Administration at Dhofar University, Salalah, Oman. Over the course of this time, I developed course modules, implemented experiential learning techniques, and secured research grants, among other duties. Prior to joining Dhofar University, I was dedicated to postdoctoral research. Initially, I worked at the School of Business Management (AACSB-accredited) at University Utara Malaysia and later at the School of Management (SOM), University Sains Malaysia (USM). Over the course of my professional career, my commitment to academia, research, and leadership has remained constant, as reflected in a wide array of roles and contributions I have made in different institutions.
My academic background includes a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) from the School of Business Management, College of Business (COB) at the Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM), Malaysia, an institution accredited by AACSB, AMBA, and ABEST21. Before obtaining my PhD, I earned an MS in Management from the School of Business and Economics (SBE) at the University of Management & Technology (UMT). In addition, I hold a Master of Business Administration (MBA).
My leadership was also evident during my time as the Management Director of the LEADS Group in Pakistan, which included Lahore Leads University, the Leads Group of Colleges, and The Leads Schools System. Between 2009 and 2014, I served as an Assistant Professor at several internationally renowned institutions.
I am honored to be a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA), recognized under the UK Professional Standards Framework for Teaching and Learning Support in Higher Education. Additionally, I hold the Certified Management & Business Educator (CMBE) credential, awarded by the Chartered Association of Business Schools (CABS) in the UK. The distinction of being a certified entrepreneur educator came from the Price-Babson Symposium for Entrepreneurship Educators (SEE- Batch 48) at Babson College, Massachusetts, USA.

I am committed to employing learner-centered, enquiry-based, and practice-led pedagogical approaches that inspire students to develop an entrepreneurial mindset and skills. My teaching philosophy is centered on creating an interactive, engaging, and supportive learning environment that helps students develop creative solutions to business challenges. I believe that experiential learning is essential in business education, and I use a variety of teaching methodologies, such as case studies, simulations, and team projects, to ensure that students can learn through diverse experiences. Additionally, I emphasize the importance of critical thinking and problem-solving skills, which are essential for business success in today's dynamic environment.
