External Examiners
)
External Examiners are part of the University’s quality assurance processes and are recruited by each School on an annual basis. They are experts in their fields and normally are academics from other higher education institutions, but may also be from industry, business or the profession. Their role is to provide an impartial view of the course and to provide independent advice to ensure courses meet the academic standards and quality that is expected across the sector.
External Examiners for courses at partner institutions are approved by the University.
External Examiners review whether:
The course meets its stated aims.
The assessments and types of assessment in modules are appropriate and of comparable standard to other institutions.
The marking has been applied fairly on assignments and the marking scheme/grading criteria have been properly and consistently applied.
