Dr Azeem Ibrahim

The University’s new lecture series – The Salford Lectures – will launch with a guest speaker who has been described by his peers as a ‘brilliant young scholar and businessman’.

Dr Azeem Ibrahim’s lecture, Globalisation and Security: Challenges for the Coming Decade, will take place in the Chapman Building, on Thursday 8 November at 5.30pm.  It will address vital issues facing the world today in building the global economy and inter-connectedness of people, while also facing up to the realities and challenges of security for everyone.

His lecture marks the official launch of two new Masters courses at the University, which have been awarded the prestigious Vice-Chancellor’s Foresight Award.

The Distance Learning Masters of Arts in Terrorism and Security and the Distance Learning Masters of Arts in International Relations and Globalisation, starting in January 2013, are designed to appeal to the local and international mid-career student, as well as traditional students who want to know how the world works.

The course leaders for these new MAs will run a Master Class on 7 November, the day before the lecture, which will feature presentations about each of the modules that will be available on these MAs.  These include International Political Economy and the Middle East and Terrorism.  

After spending several years as a reservist in the Parachute Regiment, esteemed speaker Dr Ibrahim launched his own IT consultancy, expanding into continental Europe and later moving into global finance.  He has founded more than a dozen companies.

In 2007, Dr Ibrahim was the youngest person on Carter Anderson’s UK Power 100 List and, in 2010, he was named as one of the Top 100 Global Thinkers by the LSDP European Social Think Tank and a Young Global Leader by the World Economic Forum.
Dr Ibrahim also advises global leaders and high-profile individuals, including former Prime Minister Gordon Brown and Malaysian politician Anwar Ibrahim. 

This event is part of a public series of lectures which are free and open to all.
