Prep to be a Research Degrees Examiner

16th Mar 2021 10am - 12pm

This activity takes place online

Being an external examiner on a research degree brings significant responsibility. The examination – unique in its assessment form - usually comprises two elements; a thesis and a viva voce examination. There is no rubrik, no mark scheme, and the viva has no set structure or duration. As the external examiner, it is your responsibility to assess the thesis and the candidate against the standards expected across the University sector. What are those standards, and how do you assess them? What do the candidate need to demonstrate and how?
