External Examiner Information
External examiners are appointed to provide the University with impartial and independent advice through oversight of the assessment process, informative comment on the University’s standards, and on student achievement in relation to those standards. All taught programmes that lead to the award of credit or a qualification of the University (including collaborative provision) must have one or more external examiners appointed.
The Department of Computer Science has appointed External Examiners to oversee each of their degree programmes, as follows (please note: it is inappropriate for students to make direct contact with External Examiners, in particular regarding their individual performance in assessment. There are appropriate mechanisms available to students, such as appeal or complaint):
