External Examiners are nominated to examine undergraduate and postgraduate programmes for the School.

Departments are responsible for recruiting and nominating External Examiners. You can find out more about the process, forms and eligibility criteria at External Examiner nomination.

Sub-Board and School Board Chairs

The Chair and Deputy Chair of the School Board of Examiners for BA and BSc degrees, the LLB Board of Examiners and the Chair of the Graduate School Board are all appointed by the Academic Nominations Committee.

Chairs of Sub-Boards should be nominated (or reappointed) annually by Departments in time for the October USSC and GSSC meetings.
