Assessment Policy

Our assessment policy is aimed at increasing the quality of education offered at this university. As such, it determines our procedures for ascertaining and verifying the results of the academic and practical training undergone in line with our 3 policies: Admission Policy, Curriculum Policy, and Diploma Policy.

1. Assessment is based on multi-faceted evaluation of a range of indices. These indices allow us to determine whether a student has fulfilled the conditions of our Admission Policy, whether their studies have progressed in line with our Curriculum Policy, and whether they have met the requirements of our Diploma Policy. Therefore, a database has been established which will allow each student’s overall academic data to be referenced.
2. A wide range of direct and indirect indices are used in arriving at an assessment. These include the results for each academic subject; entrance examination results, and the distribution of such results, encompassing those on completion of each year of study and at time of graduation; GPA; rate of progress through grades; and pass rate in national examinations. In addition, freshman questionnaires, reports on effort, and questionnaires at time of and after graduation are also referenced.
3. Assessment of progress in each subject in the curriculum is carried out in strict accordance with the protocol and standards clearly set down in the syllabus, the school regulations, and Tokyo Medical University GPA. In addition, we are devoted to enriching our curriculum.
4. Feedback will be provided to each student and relevant members of staff regarding ongoing academic progress.
