External Examiners

Welcome to the External Examiner page for the University of Winchester.

The purposes of the External Examiner system are to ensure that:

  • Degrees awarded in similar subjects are comparable in standard in different universities in the United Kingdom;
  • The assessment processes, including examinations, and for determining the final marks of awards, are rigorous and have been fairly conducted within the University's regulations and guidance;
  • The academic standards set are appropriate for the awards, or part thereof.

The University values feedback from External Examiners as part of its internal quality assurance processes and takes care in the appointment process, briefing of External Examiners, and guidance on the role of External Examiners and the reporting mechanism. Programmes are required to respond formally to suggestions for action from External Examiners. Agreed actions are reported on and followed up via the Annual Monitoring Process.
