Building a working relationship with External Examiners

It is anticipated that the Programme Director will have a collaborative relationship with their External Examiner(s). To ensure an effective and productive relationship the Programme Director should endeavour to make regular contact with their External Examiner(s) throughout the year. One of the central roles for the Programme Director with their External Examiners is in supporting them to get to know the programme. Keeping your External Examiner informed by regular updates, and for example, checking if they need any further information will facilitate this process.
