3.12 Internal Reviewer

1. Internal reviewers may attend examination boards to observe the board’s application of university regulations and the guidance provided in the Academic Quality Handbook, or if there are issues identified and it would be helpful for an Internal Reviewer to attend. They may also draw attention to and share good practice within or across faculties.

2. Internal reviewers are appointed by Academic Registry. The Internal Reviewer is not a member of the examination board, should not be an internal examiner for the examination board in question, and are not expected to comment on individual cases during meetings of examination boards. Where it is not possible for the Academic Registry to provide an internal reviewer for a particular board, the role may be fulfilled by a reviewer from the Faculty.

3. Internal reviewers may attend a selection of meetings of examination boards where external examiners are expected to be present, which includes semester one meetings of Part Two and Postgraduate Taught boards.
