When it comes to our Higher Education courses we're extra special.
We are proud to have achieved a silver award from the Teaching Excellence Framework which is a government assessment of the quality of undergraduate teaching.
Our special achievements were noted in a report which said that:
- Our course design and assessment practices provide scope for excellent levels of stretch, including local employers playing a significant role in designing the curriculum
