At Cambridge Assessment, we have the largest research capability of its kind with two major departments:
- our Assessment Research and Development division
- the Research and Validation unit within Cambridge ESOL which is solely focused on English Language learning.
Our Activities
We conduct and publish research in order to improve and develop our products and services.
We also undertake externally funded research from time to time, where projects of interest to Cambridge Assessment are identified. This has included work funded by England's Qualifications and Curriculum Authority (QCA) and its equivalents in Wales and Northern Ireland.
A selection of research materials are available online in our Research services section.
