Our programmes benefit from shared teaching and joint modules across programmes. Previous experience as an External Examiner is desirable but not essential, as mentoring can be provided where necessary. Applications are invited from academics who have appropriate NMC registration, expertise and experience to maintain comparability standards. Examination Boards take place twice a year.
