Our QS rating reflects areas of excellence across all of our campuses in England, its partnership Universities and increased recognition for our international presence at GISMA in Berlin and Hong Kong.

In September 2023, we were awarded an overall Silver rating, with a Gold rating for Student Experience and Silver rating for the Student Outcomes in the Office for Students (OfS) Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) for 2023.

An overall Silver rating indicates that the student experience and student outcomes are typically very high quality.

The TEF is a national scheme run by the OfS that assesses undergraduate courses and aims to encourage excellence in teaching, learning and student outcomes. It is a rigorous and independent assessment of teaching quality, learning environment and student outcomes for undergraduate programmes in higher education institutions.

The TEF panel judged our Student Experience aspect as Gold, stating the student experience is typically outstanding with Student Outcomes being awarded a Silver meaning they are typically very high quality. The OfS statement of findings sets out the reasons for the panel judgement on Student Experience (in particular SE1 criteria), saying “Overall, the panel concluded that the submission and indicators evidence that the provider has embedded outstanding teaching, feedback and assessment practices that are highly effective and tailored to its students’ learning, progression, and an attainment.” 

The award reflects our dedication to nurturing intellectual curiosity, fostering critical thinking and supporting students’ personal and professional development.
