THE Royal Agricultural University (RAU) has been awarded a Silver Standard in the new Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF).
The TEF is the process by which the government monitors and assesses the quality of teaching in England’s universities.
The Silver Award is valid for three years and is recognition that the university delivers high quality teaching, learning and outcomes.
RAU vice-chancellor Professor Jo Price said: “I am delighted that the Royal Agricultural University has been granted this Silver Award.
“It is testimony to the hard work of our students and staff, working together to ensure excellent outcomes and ultimately, employment levels that are significantly above the sector average.
“Our aim must be to continue to work together towards achieving the Gold Award in future TEF assessments.
“Ensuring that teaching at the RAU is of the highest quality and that all our students have an outstanding experience will remain a key priority for the university as we develop our new strategy.”
