The Nursing & Health Care School requires two external examiners for postgraduate taught programmes (MSc). Our programmes enable students to develop their skills and attributes in education, research, critical thinking, global citizenship and leadership. Students are typically experienced healthcare professionals from a range of international or UK backgrounds.
The ideal candidates would be suitably qualified nurse academics who are familiar with postgraduate teaching and programme management, and who have previous experience as an external examiner. Appointments will commence at the start of the academic year in 2025-26 and run for four years.
Successful applicants will be responsible for reviewing a range of courses and/or independent projects.
The main duties would normally be as follows:
- Review and evaluate assessment and feedback processes throughout the year
- Attend the main examination board/s via zoom (February, June and September)
- Submit an annual external examiner report.
- Advise the programme team on programme structure and enhancements
Appointments are subject to the University Senate’s criteria for the appointment of external examiners and orientation to the UofG will be provided.
Informal inquiries can be made to Prof Eileen Cowey (eileen.cowey@glasgow.ac.uk)
Interested applicants should submit a one-page CV and letter of interest by email to the Postgraduate Programme Administrator, Kim Holms (kim.holms@glasgow.ac.uk).
The closing date for applications is 9th May 2025.
