Course External Examiners

Through their attendance and participation in DABs, External Examiners verify the standards of the University’s awards. External Examiners also ensure that assessment processes are sound, consistent and fairly operated in line with University Assessment Regulations and related policies. DABs should seek the views of External Examiners and discuss any issues which may inform the immediate business of the Board. External Examiners may be consulted by the Chair of the DAB as appropriate to verify that academic standards are secure. The External Examiner may wish to raise issues relating to module or course assessment, delivery and/or performance and may wish to give further advice in relation to these areas.
