Dear colleagues

 

The Department of Business, Law, Policing and Social Sciences at the University of Cumbria are seeking External Panel Member for a suite of MBA programmes (with a range of specialisms including Education, Tourism and Risk Management). These programmes will be delivered by one of our Associate Partners in Europe and will be delivered through an online distance learning arrangement. In addition to subject expertise, it would be useful if you also had experience of distance learning programmes and of collaborative provision arrangements. This validation is from the 4 – 6th February 2018.

As a minimum, External Panel Member nominees should have:

• Current or recent knowledge of working in UK Higher Education.
• An understanding of the expectations for UK academic programmes at the proposed level.
• Familiarity with processes for approving academic programmes in Higher Education.
• Knowledge of the subject area.

 

To preserve integrity of the process, External Panel Members should not:

• Have been involved with the development of the proposal.
• Be a current External Examiner for the University, nor must members of the proposing team be an external examiner for the nominee’s institution.
• Be currently professionally involved with members of the Programme Team, such as co-author of a recent book or other publication, or joint collaborators in research projects in the subject area(s).
• Have been employed within the previous five years at the University (including as an External Examiner).
• Be currently employed at any of the University’s Associate Partners.

 

There are no geographical limits on External Panel Member nominees, but there may be a balance to be struck with reasonable travelling times.

 

If you satisfy the above criteria, are available on the dates stated, and would like to volunteer to join the validation panel as an External Panel Member, please contact Ceri Macdonald at [log in to unmask] with a brief summary of any relevant experience and your CV.

 

Many thanks for your consideration.

 

With best wishes

 

Ceri
