External Examiner Opportunities

We invite expressions of interest from academics who have:

  • At least 3–5 years of experience in higher education (or equivalent)

  • Subject expertise aligned with our undergraduate and/or postgraduate programmes

  • Familiarity with UK Higher Education quality assurance and assessment expectations

Most External Examiners we work with are based in the UK; however, we also consider overseas academics who are in compatible time zones and hold equivalent qualifications.


Why Collaborate as an External Examiner? 

External examining is a well-established way for academics to:

  • Support academic standards across the sector

  • Enhance their teaching, assessment, and leadership experience

Many colleagues value the perspective and development this role provides.
