The University of Manchester is seeking to appoint a subject external examiner from either the Mental Health or Child Field of Nursing for two course units on the Masters in Nursing (MNurs) programme;
- Shaping Nurses Recognition and Response to Serious Illness
- Research in Professional Practice (Major Project- to be shared between the two external examiners)
The programme recruits students across 3 fields of Nursing; Adult, Mental Health, and Child.
Applications are therefore invited from individuals who have demonstrable experience of teaching and assessing at Level 7 in Nursing.
External examiners for the Masters in Nursing programme would normally be expected to visit at least one practice learning environment per year in addition to attendance at Examination Boards.
The University appointments for external examiners are normally for a period of 4 years, commencing in October.
All coursework is electronically submitted by students and is marked online using Grademark and Turnitin. External examiners will be required to use the online moderating process. In addition we will provide a sample of Practice Assessment Documents to view via our online learning environment. User guides and support will be available.
