The Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) is a UK government rating that focuses on institutes of higher education and improving quality teaching at undergraduate level. Universities and colleges can achieve a gold, silver, bronze or provisional rating and the purpose of the new assessment is to help international students choose where to study in the UK.
An independent expert panel assesses each university or college based on written data and submitted evidence. Measured metrics include:
As with all university ranking and league tables, students should use the TEF as a guide, not a rule. The TEF focuses on an institute as a whole and is not subject or course-specific. However, it does offer a quick insight into universities that are currently excelling in the areas highlighted above.
The last Teaching Excellence Framework assessment took place in 2023.
