External examiners

External Examiners comment and give advice to the Department on programme content, balance and structure. External Examiners provide specific and general advice to the Departmental Board of Studies via Board of Examiners meetings and their External Examiner Annual Report. The Department provides a list of current External Examiners for information.

It is inappropriate to make direct contact with external examiners. If you have any issues or concerns, you can register these through appeal or complaint.

For further information, please see Making an Appeal section of the Handbook and the Making a complaint section of the Handbook.

There are ways of engaging with the process through which the University considers and responds to External Examiners. Your Course Representative will have the opportunity to attend the relevant committee where feedback from External Examiners will be shared and discussed.
