[2] Bealey was de-mobbed in January 1946, entering a term late at The London School of Economics (LSE), and graduating with a First Class Honours degree in government (Political Science) in 1948.

On his return to the United Kingdom he worked as a research assistant for the Passfield Trust through the support of the then head of Department of Government at LSE, Harold Laski.

[5] In 1981 he became a trustee of the Jan Hus Educational Foundation[5] set up prior to the 1989 Czechoslovak Velvet Revolution to organise clandestine seminars for dissidents, with speakers from West European Universities.

He went to Czechoslovakia in the summer of 1984[3] (under the disguise of being a tourist) smuggling in materials and various spare parts for word processors and also to give clandestine lectures on the developments of Western political thought to dissidents, and he did this again in the spring of 1989.

After the Velvet Revolution, he applied for and set up and co-ordinated an EU TEMPUS scheme (JEP 0276), which was concerned with the rehabilitation of higher education in post-Communist Europe.
