Recognition
The official judgement by the Government’s review states:
Based on the evidence available, the TEF Panel judged that the University of Northampton delivers consistently outstanding teaching, learning and outcomes for its students.

What is the TEF?
In brief, the TEF is a league table where universities, colleges and private providers are judged on the quality of the education they provide. The TEF is run by the Government and is therefore ‘official’, unlike other league tables.
The Government has introduced the TEF as a way of
- better informing students’ choices about what and where to study
- raising esteem for teaching
- recognising and rewarding excellent teaching
- better meeting the needs of employers, business and industry
