After The Middle East

After returning from the Middle East in 1988, Dr. Jauncey studied for a Masters Degree in International Hotel Management at Surrey University, which involved research focusing on the decision-making activities of hotel General Managers. He then returned to his old college in Oxford (now Oxford Brookes University) as a Lecturer. Whilst there, he completed his post graduate diploma in third level teaching, and his PhD - which focused on recording and understanding all aspects of the job of the hotel General Manager.  Whilst at Oxford, he was promoted to the position of Undergraduate Programmes Director. In 1998, he established the Centre for Environmental Studies in the Hospitality Industry, which is now recognized as a centre of excellence for industry focused environmental research. Under his direction, this centre completed a great many research and consultancy projects - including the establishment of a grading system for monitoring hotels’ compliance with environmental guidelines, and a national action plan for dealing with hospitality waste.

Europe and Back To The Middle East

From 2001 to 2007, Dr. Jauncey was Head of the School of Hotel and Catering Studies at the Galway-Mayo Institute of Technology (GMIT) in Ireland, where he was responsible for three departments serving 1,200 students and 22 programmes - from certificate to post-graduate level. One of his legacies to GMIT is the West of Ireland Centre for Tourism and Hospitality Research, which he founded in 2002. He is also proud to have established several new degrees and academic progression routes for all students, which means that students who study basic cookery, or other operational programmes, can now progress to degree and post graduate qualifications.

In July 2007 we welcomed Dr. Stuart Jauncey to The Emirates Academy of Hospitality Management as our new Dean.

In addition to academic management, Dr. Jauncey has supervised in excess of 30 post graduate students, and acted as external examiner for hospitality and business degrees across Europe.
