The School of HLS is seeking to appoint a subject external examiner to a range of modules within our post-registration undergraduate suite of programmes. The remit involves assessment of SCQF level 9 theory modules relating to:

External examiner responsibilities include moderation of assessments, completion of an annual monitoring report and attendance at subject panels where student marks are ratified. A schedule of subject panels per academic session will be made available. The School uses an electronic marking system associated with the originality checking programme Turnitin, called Grademark. External examiners are required to make use of the system during the external moderation process (this being accessible through Moodle Virtual Learning Environment).

Experienced and new external examiners will be considered provided the applicant has the relevant professional qualification(s), experience and a valid teaching qualification (essential requirement for this post). Applications from colleagues working at Birmingham City University cannot be accepted for this post.

The appointment will be with effect from 1 October 2019.

Full details of the programmes and modules will be provided to appointees and an induction day will be held by the University following appointment.
