The University of Westminster has been rated Silver overall, Silver for the Student Experience, and Silver for Student Outcomes in the Teaching Excellence Framework 2023, announced this morning.
This means that our education provision and the student experience at Westminster has been evaluated to be typically, Very High Quality.
The Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) is a national scheme run by the Office for Students (OfS) that recognises providers for high quality teaching and student outcomes. The TEF assesses and rates universities and colleges for excellence above a set of minimum requirements for quality and standards.
The ratings, which last for four years, are a combination of metrics and a written submission. Our submission describes our practical teaching, student support, and the employability and travel opportunities on offer which are all part of the Westminster student experience and support positive outcomes for our students.
Speaking about the results Professor Peter Bonfield, Vice-Chancellor and President said: “I am so pleased that we have been rated as Silver in the Teaching Excellence Framework. This has been achieved thanks to the collective efforts of thousands of colleagues alongside our Students’ Union, Governors, Alumni, employer partners and more over the last five years. Our Silver rating has been achieved by us staying true to our special and distinctive purpose, supporting our wonderfully diverse community of students, broad coverage of subject areas, aligned with our values and priorities around wellbeing, inclusion and sustainable development.”
