Speaking about the result 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.”
