Teaching Excellence Framework

The second Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) has launched with submissions due in January 2023.

The TEF is a wide-ranging evaluation of the quality of teaching, learning and student outcomes. It is one of the mechanisms by which our regulator, the Office for Students (OfS), provides assurance that universities and colleges (described by the OfS as ‘providers’) are delivering what they claim.

The main aims of the TEF are to help applicants make informed choices and to encourage providers to engage in continuous improvement.  

On this page, you will find updates and details from the team drafting the submission. 

TEF 2023 Task and Finish Group 

UCL’s TEF Task and Finish Group of Education Committee will steer the development and drafting of UCL’s provider submission, and support UCL students in developing their own independent submission.

The membership includes colleagues from across UCL
