External Examiners

The External Examiner (EE) database provides a list of potential examiners for institutions and an opportunity for individuals seeking examining work.

The database is not open to the public and is accessible only to registered users. To access, search or add personal details you need to register with ESCalate and receive a password. It is easy to register and log in

There are additional benefits to registering - find out more from frequently asked questions (faqs).

Also available here is a paper by Szerenke Kovacs of ESCalate reviewing the current debates - 'Developments and discussions around the External Examining system in UK higher education' written in May 2010.

Follow the link to an article by Howard Colley, Senior Advisor for External Examining with the Higher Education Academy, which first appeared in the ESCalate Autumn 2005 newsletter.
