Guidance for External Examiners

Guidance for External Examiner who have joined, or are thinking of joining, the University of Greenwich.

External Examiners are key to the maintenance of academic standards for all programmes of study in the university. Institutions with degree awarding powers are responsible for the academic standards of the awards they offer and external examining provides one of the principal means for maintaining UK threshold academic standards. The university requires appointments of External Examiners to be drawn from the higher education sector, industry, and other relevant professions. Those appointed to oversee our modules and programmes should be suitably qualified and experienced in the subject or specialism to which the appointment relates. Based on their qualifications and experience, External Examiners are able to provide carefully considered advice on the academic standards of the awards, programmes and/or modules, and can offer advice on good practice and opportunities to enhance the quality.
