The University of York has received the prestigious Gold award in the latest Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF 2023) for its outstanding learning and teaching and student experience. Gold is the highest possible rating a university can achieve. The Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) is a national scheme run by the Office for Students, the independent regulator of higher education in England. Awards are decided by an independent panel of experts, focusing on areas that students care about the most: teaching, learning and achieving positive outcomes from their studies.
Following the Top 10 ranking for the quality the University of York received for its research in last year's REF, these TEF results underline academic excellence and research of the University of York.
TEF 2023 panel statement said: “Course content and delivery inspire students to actively engage in and commit to their learning, and stretch students to develop knowledge and skills to their fullest potential.”
“We achieve such high teaching standards because we’re motivated by our founding principles: the pursuit of academic excellence, the application of learning for social benefit, and equality of opportunity.”
