Sourcing an External Examiner

To help you understand the nomination process we have produced guidance notes on the application process, from submitting a nomination to SQSC through to approval by the External Examiners Sub-Committee.

Guidance Notes for those staff seeking the appointment of a new external examiner

Finding an External Examiner

You may already have a pool of external examiners that you can approach, however if you require assistance there are many websites that can be of use. To enable you to find an external examiner, we have provided below a link to an academic mailing list. You will need to subscribe to the site and then you can post your requirements and fellow academics will reply to you directly. Subscription is free to the academic community.

http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/

There are other websites available that are specific to academic areas which have a tool to enable you to find external examiners. You may already have membership to such a site or perhaps you would be interested in becoming a member. As some of these sites do incur a subscription charge, please check with the budget holder for your school before committing to any payment.

If you are aware of any other useful websites please can you email the External Examiners Administrator on extexam@uel.ac.uk. Thank you
