  • Welcome to TeX.SX! Please help us to help you and add a minimal working example (MWE) that illustrates your problem. It will be much easier for us to reproduce your situation and find out what the issue is when we see compilable code, starting with \documentclass{...} and ending with \end{document}.

  • I have the impression, every one uses the 0.35\textwidth style ;-)

Since nothing is specified, I used the scrartcl class and a table, with some adjusting of a middle column width via 0.35\textwidth.

\documentclass[paper=a4]{scrartcl}



\begin{document}

\bfseries%
\begin{tabular}{lp{0.35\textwidth}l}
Internal Examiner: & & External Examiner: \tabularnewline
Date: &  & Date: \tabularnewline
\end{tabular}%
\normalfont%
\end{document}

Change the columnwidth to whatever you like:

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}

\noindent
\begin{tabular}{@{} p{0.35\textwidth} p{0.4\textwidth} @{}}
Internal Examiner: & External Examiner: \\
             Date: & Date:              
\end{tabular}

\end{document}

Using parcolumns and tabular.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{parcolumns}

\begin{document}
        \begin{parcolumns}[sloppy=true, colwidths={1=0.65\textwidth,2=0.35\textwidth}]{2}
            \raggedright
            \colchunk{ %
                \begin{tabular}{l}
                    \textbf{Internal Examiner:}
                    \\
                    \textbf{Date:}
                \end{tabular}
            }
            \colchunk{ %
                \begin{tabular}{l}
                    \textbf{External Examiner:}
                    \\
                    \textbf{Date:}
                \end{tabular}
            }
            \colplacechunks
        \end{parcolumns}
\end{document}

With tabularxand setstretch as the row spacing is too tight in tabulars:

\documentclass[a4paper, 11pf]{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{fourier}
\usepackage{heuristica}

\usepackage[showframe, nomarginpar]{geometry}

\usepackage{array}
\usepackage{tabularx}
\usepackage{setspace}

\begin{document}


{\setstretch{1.5}\noindent
\begin{tabularx}{\linewidth}{@{}>{\bfseries}lX>{\bfseries}rX@{}}
Internal Examiner: & & External Examiner: & \tabularnewline
Date: & & Date: & \tabularnewline
\end{tabularx}}%

\end{document}

Here is a simple plain TeX solution:

\settabs 2 \columns
\+ Internal Examiner: &  External Examiner:  \cr
\+ Date: &  Date: \cr    
\bye

You can use minipages too.

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}

\noindent
\begin{minipage}{0.35\textwidth}
Internal Examiner:   \par\noindent
             Date:  
\end{minipage}
\hfill
\begin{minipage}{0.35\textwidth}
External Examiner:   \par\noindent
Date:
\end{minipage}

\end{document}

enter image description here

Another variant in alignment will be:

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}

\noindent
\begin{minipage}{0.25\textwidth}
\raggedleft
Internal Examiner:   \par\noindent
             Date:  
\end{minipage}
\hfil
\begin{minipage}{0.35\textwidth}
\raggedleft
External Examiner:   \par\noindent
Date:
\end{minipage}

\end{document}

enter image description here

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[usestackEOL]{stackengine}
\begin{document}
\noindent{\bfseries\setstackgap{L}{1.5\baselineskip}
\Longstack[l]{Internal Examiner:\\Date}\hfil\hfil%
\Longstack[l]{External Examiner:\\Date:}\hfil}
%\par\noindent\hrulefill% This will show the margin extent
\end{document}
