Assessment design

Assessment underpins the very heart of learning. We'll help you design and deliver high-quality assessments to establish your position as a trusted medical education provider.

Every medical learning institution needs high-quality, trustworthy, repeatable, and relevant assessment systems. These assessments not only direct the direction of your syllabus; they also act as important evidence that students and clinicians have met recognised standards.

It is vital to get this right, and we are here to help.

Our work with Chulabhorn Royal Academy

Since 2017, we have been working with the Chulabhorn Royal Academy (CRA) to help establish a brand-new medical school in Bangkok, Thailand. The project is sponsored by Her Royal Highness, Princess Srisavangavadhana.

Working in close partnership with a team of local Thai educators and clinicians, we drew on the principles of the UCL MBBS assessment approach, but we adapted materials when necessary to ensure an appropriate fit to the Thai context.

Mindful of the local regulatory and educational norms, we co-developed an assessment approach that was based on medical education research and international best practice. A team of external examiners from UCL help to ensure the assessments remain at the highest standards.

I learned a lot from working with the UCL team, especially on the assessment aspect. I feel like I can work confidently knowing that I have great support that I can turn to whenever I need it. We have been working together for four years, and it has been a really wonderful experience.
