We are looking for an external advisor:

The University specifies that External Advisors should have relevant experience in Higher Education teaching at the appropriate level-normally at least 3 years, in a capacity as course leader or similar. Applicants should have knowledge of operating department practice (ODP).

In addition, external advisors should not usually have (or have had within the last 5 years) any professional relationship with the University of Worcester (or partner institutions) or staff involved in the course undergoing reapproval.
