External Examiner (EE) process for NTU staff

These pages are designed to provide useful information about the External Examiner (EE) process for members of NTU Staff.

Please note that you should be seeking a replacement External Examiner 18 months prior to the end of the existing External Examiners tenure. In cases where a replacement is difficult to find, or in niche subject areas, we would expect this task to begin 24 months prior to the end of the existing external examiner's tenure.
