Dr Markus Markert is an Education Strategist and co-founder of Anglo-German Education Ltd. He read Politics and International Relations at the University of Warwick, where he received the Warwick Student Prize for Best Overall Performance, before proceeding to the University of Oxford for his MPhil in Politics and DPhil in International Relations.

​

His doctoral research, The Role of Non-State Actors in Foreign Policy Decision-Making Processes in the Non-Western World, advanced an original framework for understanding the hybrid interplay of states and non-state actors in international affairs. By challenging Western-centric paradigms, his thesis demonstrated how informal networks and unconventional actors shape foreign policy outcomes in ways often more effective than formal diplomacy.

​

Spanning academia, international consultancy, and educational leadership, Dr Markert has advised universities, healthcare networks, political bodies, and cultural institutions across Europe, the Middle East, and South Asia. A proponent of the German dual studies model, he advocates for industry integration at the very heart of education. At the Mayfair Programme, he advances a vision in which intellectual excellence, character formation, and practical mastery are cultivated together, preparing graduates to lead with distinction in a changing global society.
