Abstract
As a part-time work-based degree with students registered from all parts of the United Kingdom, and potentially from abroad, the Bachelor of Science (BSc) in Medical illustration does not have assessment in the conventional form as used by full-time courses undertaken in a university. It incorporates the expertise of medical illustrators actually working in the profession. The unique nature of the Institute of Medical Illustrators (IMI) and Glasgow Caledonian University (GCU) BSc has required the development of an assessment system that satisfies the quality assurance demands of both the awarding and professional body. This paper details the system devised to meet the needs of the provision and to ensure consistent assessment.
