University of Northampton TEF 2023 Submission
We are delighted to have received a Silver award in the 2023 Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF). This means that the University of Northampton student experience and student outcomes are typically very high quality as judged by a panel of peers in the context of the whole UK higher education sector. The Silver award applies until 2027, and during this time we will continue to build on our achievements and make evidence-based improvements in line with our mission to support aspiration, create opportunities and deliver impact. Read the UON TEF panel statement.
