The Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) assessments are now complete for the majority of providers that took part, and today we have published their final ratings.
Today marks a major milestone in the delivery of the TEF 2023: we have published the final ratingsExternal link (Opens in a new tab or window) for the majority of providers that took part. (A number of ratings are ‘pending’ while they are finalised by the TEF panel.)
This is the culmination of months of hard work by the independent TEF panel members – students and academics from right across the sector – who brought to the process a wealth of knowledge and experience, and diverse perspectives. On behalf of the OfS I would like to thank the panel for its work, and the dedication and professionalism members have shown throughout.
In 2022 we set new regulatory requirements for quality to ensure that students receive a high quality academic experience and positive outcomes. We refer to this as our ‘regulatory baseline’ that represents the high quality that all students should expect. The TEF, which is a cyclical peer review process taking place every four years, builds on this by incentivising universities and colleges to go beyond those requirements, and deliver excellence for their students.
