Similarly, some programmes may require more than one EE due to different fields or specialism.

Individuals seeking to become external examiners of the University are expected to demonstrate appropriate evidence of:

be expected of students in relation to their award.

5. Awareness of current developments in the design and delivery of programmes in their subject including competence in and experience of designing and managing assessment.

6. Current employment status including eligibility to work in the United Kingdom and (where relevant) PSRB registration.

7. Fluency in the English language.

Individuals without previous experience will normally join an experienced team of examiners and will be mentored by an experienced examiner in the same or cognate subject area.

Role

The main responsibility of an External Examiners is to confirm that academic standards are appropriately set and maintained and therefore, their principal duties are to:

• Review and approve examination papers in a timely manner that contribute to a student’s final award and any other assessment material as agreed between the examiner and the programme team.
• Review and approve the content, learning outcomes and assessment of negotiated learning modules leading to the award of Student-Initiated Credit.
• Review samples of work that have been marked and internally moderated in order to be satisfied that students have been graded fairly through the use of marking criteria and in accordance with the University’s Academic Regulations.
• Produce a comprehensive Annual Report that covers a range of considerations including confirmation whether national threshold standards are being met or exceeded and that students have achieved the intended learning outcomes for the award of credit and qualifications.

Whilst the majority of work undertaken will be carried out remotely, External Examiners may be required to attend assessment boards at the Ormskirk Campus on an annual basis.
