Lincoln Awarded Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) Gold Status

Hannah McGowan / / Events

The University of Lincoln, UK, has again been awarded Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) Gold status, the highest rating for delivering consistently outstanding standards of teaching, learning and outcomes for students.

The Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) is a national scheme run by the Office for Students (OfS) that aims to encourage higher education providers to improve and deliver excellence in the areas that students care about the most: teaching, learning and achieving positive outcomes from their studies. A Gold TEF rating means the student experience and student outcomes are typically outstanding. 

Prof Neal Juster, Vice Chancellor of the University of Lincoln, said: “This achievement bookends a remarkable year of national recognition across areas including research, sustainability and support for local businesses among many others. In November, it was announced that Lincoln had won the Queen’s Anniversary Prize, the highest National Honour in UK further and higher education, and now a Gold TEF rating re-affirms Lincoln as an outstanding University.”

“I want to thank our incredible colleagues across the University who work tirelessly to achieve such high standards. We continue to make a real difference for our community, region, and indeed globally. For all these reasons we should be extremely proud of the work we continue to do. None of this would be possible without incredible colleagues, and I thank them again for their quality of teaching, for supporting our students and ensuring their experience at Lincoln is a truly excellent one.”

The TEF assesses and rates universities and colleges for excellence above a set of minimum requirements for quality and standards.

Universities and colleges that take part in the TEF receive an overall rating as well as two underpinning ratings – one for the student experience and one for student outcomes.

The ratings reflect the extent to which a university or college delivers an excellent experience and outcomes for its mix of undergraduate students and across the range of its undergraduate courses and subjects.
