Our awards and accreditations

The TEF assesses and rates universities and colleges on the quality of their teaching by looking at measures including student satisfaction, student retention rates and graduate employment levels. Its award ratings of Gold, Silver and Bronze are valid for up to three years. The TEF Gold awarded to Coventry University Group reflects that, as a higher education provider, we deliver consistently outstanding teaching, learning and outcomes for our students, and that the provision is amongst the highest quality found in the UK.

The TEF panel said we have: “embedded outstanding teaching, feedback and assessment practices that are highly effective and tailored to supporting its students' learning, progression, and attainment.”

In its concluding remarks on Coventry University Group’s overall gold rating, it said the university offered “outstanding quality provision for all groups of students and courses.”

It added: “The panel considered there to be compelling evidence that the outstanding and very high-quality features apply to all the provider’s groups of students, including students from underrepresented groups which comprise a high proportion of the provider’s students.”
