The External Examiner responsibilities within our programme include external moderation of assessments, completion of an annual monitoring report and attendance at examination boards. Currently there are four examination boards per year. The University uses the Canvas platform as our intranet and assessment moderation takes place via this online system. External Examiners are also required to provide comments on proposed modifications and the development of new modules within their area of expertise.
One of the appointments will also have responsibilities for providing External Examiner support for the franchise programme. This will be an additional appointment involving our international office.
Applicants should hold appropriate academic qualifications, including a degree and higher qualification, and professional registration. It is preferable to have previous experience of external examining although support and guidance can be provided for those new to this role.
