BOARDS


International Advisory Board


An International Advisory Board, meeting twice yearly, advises on the academic and teaching standards of the course through monitoring the content and organisation of the curriculum, and by advising on development and assessment. The Board also reviews and advises on the supervision of students engaged in research degrees.

Members are appointed for 3-year periods, coinciding with the triennial intake of students, though appointment of new members is staggered to provide continuity. The interdisciplinary and international nature of the course is reflected in the membership of the Board.

Board of Examiners


The Board of Examiners ensures that the highest standards are maintained in the formal assessment of written examinations, individual research and vivas, particularly with regard to prevailing international standards of professional practice.

Ex-officio members of the Board of Examiners include the teaching staff of the Institute, as well as one or two external examiners, at least one of whom is from abroad. Members are appointed for 3-year periods for examination of all aspects of the students' work.

The Boards of Examiners for individual higher research degrees are appointed by the Board of Studies of the Institute.
