These sessions are intended for chairs and secretaries of boards of examiners responsible for taught postgraduate programmes (including the taught element of professional doctorates such as the EdD and DBA) who have previously attended one of the University's training workshops for chairs and secretaries of boards of examiners.  The session will provide continuing support for colleagues undertaking these vital roles, following Senate's decision that all chairs and secretaries should attend an annual refresher session.

The sessions will:

• update colleagues on changes to University policy and procedure relating to boards of examiners;
• highlight key issues for chairs and secretaries to be aware of, arising from the consideration of boards of examiners' minutes by Faculty Education Committees and the University's Chief External Examiner;
• allow colleagues the chance to identify and discuss any issues or questions they might have regarding the operation of boards of examiners.

A sandwich lunch will be provided.

The workshop will be led by Professor Liz Burd, chair of Quality and Standards Sub-Committee with support from Richard Harrison, Head of the Academic Support Office.
