Managing Research Degree Examination: the use of independent chairs to
ensure transparency, consistency and fairness
Thursday 2nd June
Goodenough College, London
This one-day workshop is aimed at Pro Vice-Chancellors, Heads of Graduate
Schools and Research Groups and Chairs of Research Degree Committees and
Boards as well as Research Administrators with a brief that covers
examinations (in short, all those working in universities who have an
interest in the research degree examination process). It addresses some of
the issues arising in the context of examination across the range of
research degree awards including awards at masters level and doctoral
awards such as PhD, professional doctorates and the PhD by Published work.
It examines the requirements of the QAA Code and in particular the trend
towards independent Chairs of examinations,
Discussions will be set in the context of the recommendations regarding
such examination in the QAA Code of Practice (as well as relevant comments
in the Report on the review of research degree programmes), in the light
of some Research Council views on examination and in the worldwide context
of doctoral examination. It addresses key issues in current practice.
Further information can be found on our website.
