Beijing Foreign Studies University, in collaboration with De Montfort University and Oxford International Education Group is seeking to appoint an External Examiner for their International First Year (IFY) in Engineering and Computing programme. The appointment period for this post is initially four years and will commence September 2017.
The International First Year in Engineering and Computing programme is equivalent to a Certificate of Higher Education (CertHE), and offers Chinese students the opportunity to study the first year of their bachelor’s programme in country while preparing to complete their second and third years, and possibly a masters, at De Montfort University.
In their year on the International First Year (IFY) students will study a programme specially designed with language and study skills aspects to introduce international students to the style, approach and demands of studies in the UK. Students will also study subject specialist modules such as Database Management and Reporting, Visual Web Development, and Information Systems Development. Therefore a current External Examiner with experience in these areas is required.
The appointee will need to be based in the UK or if located overseas have substantial knowledge of and experience in the UK higher education sector. Appointees are responsible for overseeing a number of modules associated with the programme, and are required to moderate a sample of scripts relating to each module and report on these to the module leader. The provision of an annual report to the University would also be expected.
Please note that we are unable to consider nominations from people who don’t currently hold an External Examiner post at another institution.
Please forward expressions of interest, together with your CV to the Academic Partnerships Unit at [log in to unmask] by 28th February 2017.
