Fees for external examiners

Registry confirms the fees for undergraduate and taught postgraduate external examiners with Schools annually. Schools can use the information provided below for how to set fees rates for external examiners.

Fees

Expenses and fees claim

External examiners should submit an expenses and fees claim form to the Head of School. This form should detail the expenses claimed for travel, accommodation and subsistence along with receipts.

The Head of School should authorise the expenses claim and submit it to Salaries in HR by emailing salaries-external@st-andrews.ac.uk

Registry will authorise fees once the School has provided comments on the annual report. When this is submitted by the first working day of the month, fees will be paid in the same calendar month.
