Appointment of external examiners for the remainder of the current appointment period 2018-2022
If you are to be appointed to a body of external examiners for the period 2018-2022, you have to fill out an appointment notice and have it approved by the chairman.
You can find contact information for the chairman of the external examiners on the Ministry of Higher Education and Science's website. If the information is not available, please contact the Faculty of Humanities: censorbeskikkelse@hum.ku.dk.
Ad hoc appointment procedure
If there is a need to appoint a person for a single exam period in connection with one or more exams in case none of the members of the body of external examiners are able to perform the duty, he or she can be appointed ad hoc. An ad hoc appointment is not a permanent appointment, and the person in question should therefore not be added to the list of members of the body of external examiners.
The chairman of the external examiners approves the ad hoc appointment by signing and submitting a completed ad hoc appointment form to censorbeskikkelse@hum.ku.dk.
