Managing referrals, failures and appeals will also be discussed. Staff will be expected to undertake this session again after a period of five years without examining,

The workshop will provide an overview of the role of the internal and external examiner, with a view to becoming one. You will be informed of what is required of an examiner, including how best to prepare for and manage the viva and its outcomes.
