External Examiner post

Queen Margaret University, Edinburgh (www.qmu.ac.uk) seek a Greek / English speaking External Examiner for the BA Media Production (Film Directing / Journalism) delivered by their collaborative partner AKMI Metropolitan College, Athens (www.mitropolitiko.edu.gr/en/).

This 3 year post begins in September 2017 and would suit candidates with some academic Media Production experience. External Examiners assist Queen Margaret University in the discharge of its duty to ensure the quality and the standard of its courses.

In particular they provide Queen Margaret University with informed and appropriate reference points for the comparison of academic standards, offer independent, objective and impartial judgements on a range of matters, and provide professional advice and expertise in the form of findings and reports which are given serious consideration.

Within this context, the External Examining System has three main purposes:

• It assists Queen Margaret University in the comparison of academic standards across awards and modules;
• It verifies that standards are appropriate for the award for which the Examiner takes responsibility;
• It helps ensure that the assessment process is fair and fairly operated in the marking, grading and classification of student performance

For an application form please email Graham Drysdale, QMU Media Production lecturer GDrysdale@qmu.ac.uk
