Leeds College Of Building Wins Receives 'Silver Rating'

Construction News Image
Leeds College of Building has received an overall 'Silver' rating from the Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF).

The TEF encourages higher education providers to improve and deliver exceptional teaching, learning, and student outcomes by assessing and rating universities and colleges. Providers receive an overall rating as well as two underpinning ratings for student experience and student outcomes.

The ratings reflect degrees of excellence above the OfS's high-quality minimum requirements. Silver represents that "the student experience and outcomes are typically very high quality, and there may be some outstanding features".

The assessments evidence the extent to which a provider delivers an excellent experience and outcomes for its mix of undergraduate students and across the range of its undergraduate courses and subjects.

Chris Tunningley, Leeds College of Building Assistant Principal for Adults & Higher Education, said: "We're thrilled to receive the second highest possible rating for our higher education provision from the TEF. These ratings showcase the excellent quality of our courses, which will positively inform students when they choose what and where to study.

"The rating is especially rewarding given our relatively new University Centre (UC) status, achieved due to our rapidly expanding higher education numbers. With over 90 students currently studying degree apprenticeship programmes with us, we look forward to even more graduation ceremonies next year.

"Our higher education students are fantastic ambassadors for graduate careers in the construction industry. Alongside vital craft and trade skills, the sector desperately needs higher-level professionals to help innovate across specialisms, from advanced construction techniques to sustainability."
