University of Birmingham Dubai Campus
A number of programmes run on the University of Birmingham Dubai Campus. External examiners responsible for the Birmingham-based programme will be asked to scrutinise the equivalent Dubai-based programme. The School will provide you with details of programmes delivered on the University’s Dubai campus to enable scrutiny of the Dubai provision and comparability with Edgbaston equivalents
It is not envisaged that there will be any need for external examiners to travel to Dubai. Schools will provide all local information for external examiners involved with Dubai provision.
Degree apprenticeships
The University offers a range of Degree Apprenticeships across several subject disciplines. Degree Apprenticeships combine academic study with practical, work-based learning, and lead to apprentices being occupationally competent in line with industry needs. Degree Apprenticeships can be integrated (where the University embeds the End Point Assessment (EPA) into the degree programme) or non-integrated (where an external independent EPA Organisation is appointed to facilitate the final assessment).
In addition to reviewing Degree Apprenticeship programmes in line with standard University programmes, external examiners will also be required to have an understanding of the apprenticeship standard and work-based learning requirements. The School will provide you with details of Apprenticeship programmes, and this includes the Apprenticeship Standard, Apprenticeship Assessment Plan, and the knowledge, skills and behaviours to be demonstrated by students.
