It has been announced today that the University has been awarded Silver in the 2023 Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF).
Some universities received their rating in September but as we queried one part of our rating we have only learned our outcome now. (The rating is unchanged.)
The TEF is an official rating by the Office for Students (OfS) of the quality of universities’ teaching and education, in particular the student experience and students’ outcomes. TEF assessments are based on data and expert panel assessment. Ratings can be Gold, Silver, Bronze, or Requires Improvement.
A Silver rating means that, at the University of Sussex, the student experience and student outcomes are typically very high quality.
As one of main aims of the TEF is to help applicants make informed choices we can be pleased with a Silver rating – which is the same rating we received in 2017 in what was the first ever TEF.
This rating is a great accolade for our whole community who together create an innovative and stimulating educational experience for our students.
