External examiners reports

After the examination process is completed, external examiners are required to submit a report via the University's on-line system. The Senate Office will initiate payment of the fee upon receipt of the report. The Senate Office then forwards the report to the School with a request that any points raised should be discussed at a School meeting.

The Senate Office operates a categorisation system to indicate the type of response required from the School. The School is required to report on the outcome of the discussion and on any action taken. If the examiner is generally happy with the course but has made significant comments or suggestions, the School responds through their annual monitoring report which is routinely copied to the examiner. If more serious issues are raised, the Head of School is required to report back to the Senate Office within three months and his/her reply is copied to the examiner.
