How is the TEF assessed?

Universities and colleges that take part in the TEF are assessed and rated for excellence above a set of minimum requirements for quality and standards. They receive an overall rating as well as two underpinning ratings – one for the student experience and one for student outcomes.

The TEF is a desk-based, expert review exercise. The TEF panel is made up of academics and students who are experts in learning and teaching.

Why is the TEF important?

By measuring these important criteria, the TEF:

  • Encourages higher education providers to deliver excellent teaching and learning experiences
  • Shines a spotlight on high-quality teaching and courses, helping institutions to enhance their academic reputation
  • Supports students to identify which higher education provider is most suitable for them
