Awards and Examinations

Awards and Examinations is responsible for the processing of certificates, verification of awards, co-ordinating the timetabling of University examinations, processing examination papers and appointing external exam invigilators.

Invigilation of Examinations

Invigilation of Examinations is mainly carried out by university staff, however we have a pool of external invigilators who are employed on a casual basis to assist with examinations.
When recruiting for a Leeds Metropolitan invigilator position we look for the following qualities and require our invigilators to:

• Be reliable and punctual at all times.
• Have a flexible approach to work (you may be required to work at short notice
  and willing to travel to either our City or Headingley campuses).
• Be able to communicate with candidates and staff clearly and accurately.
• Use their common sense and initiative.
• Be able to work as part of a team or alone as necessary.
• Keep calm under pressure or during unexpected circumstances.
