Colleagues
The Division of Peace Studies and International Development in the Faculty of Management, Law and Social Sciences at the University of Bradford is looking for a dedicated individual to undertake the role of external examiner for our MSc
Project Planning and Management programme and associated modules to commence in September 2018.
This recently revamped programme is different from usual MSc in project management where the focus is on project management techniques specifically perhaps within the UK or the OECD countries. This MSc is different because its focus is
on planning and management of development projects.
An overview of your role and responsibilities includes:
Confirming the comparability of standards of student performance at University of Bradford with those of similar modules at other UK Institutions of Higher Education; confirming that the assessment process in its entirety is sound, and
has been fairly conducted with full regard to justice to students; reporting and advising on the above by means of approving coursework and examination papers and providing an annual report to the University.
The appointee will be required to moderate a sample of work and you will also be required to produce an annual report and attend Boards of Examiners as appropriate.
You should have appropriate expertise/experience in development studies with special interest in project planning and project management in relation to development projects; good understanding of approaches such as the Logical Framework,
European Commission's aid project management methodologies, cost benefit analysis and project appraisal as practised by development banks including the World Bank and understanding of leadership and organisational management issues in the Global South. You
should be able to undertake a role in the assurance of academic standards in Higher Education and should be aware of modern developments in the design and delivery of the flexible curriculum.
You should not hold more than one other UK Higher Education External Examiner post at the start of the contract and be qualified to at least the level of the programme to be examined.
Further information about the programme can be found at:

Regards.
