The Annual Conference for Teachers and Advisers 2019

The Teaching Excellence and Student Outcomes Framework (TEF) has been introduced by the Government in England, to recognise and encourage excellent teaching in universities and colleges. It’s intended to help students choose where to study, by providing clear information about teaching provision and student outcomes. The 2018 UCAS cycle is the first complete year students could use the TEF to inform their decision of which universities and colleges they wanted to apply to. 

Outcomes: 

• Understand how the TEF works, and the next steps for Year 3 and beyond. 
• Find out how the TEF rating is calculated, and the impact this has had on provider activities.  
• Understand UCAS’ approach to the implementation of the TEF and research into its impact on student decision-making.
