Music School Cheers Gold TEF Rating Amongst Prestigious Universities
Bustin' Tunes at the Top-Tier Music School
Hey there, music lover! Our badass music school has snatched the enviable Gold rating in the 2023 Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) by the Office for Students. Guess what? We're the solitary UK music production institute to pull off this impressive feat, placing us at the same elite level as the nation's prestigious universities. This ain't no small fry, we're diving headfirst into an unrivaled, industry-driven educational experience that'll have you hooked.
The TEF, a government initiative, evaluates teaching standards across universities and colleges across the UK. Institutions are rated based on their submissions, data, and student feedback. This year, just 46 universities and colleges nabbed Gold ratings. And guess what? We're one of 'em. Our school excelled in the student experience and outcomes, earning that coveted Gold rating, joining the ranks of institutions with excellent undergraduate teaching and student outcomes.
But that's not all, folks. We're one of only nine specialist providers in creative arts subjects to receive that lofty Gold rating. Among those nine, we're the only music production institute to achieve it. That's right, we're setting the bar high and shaping the future of the creative arts education sector, churning out industry leaders one graduate at a time.
Our CEO and Founder, Rob Cowan, couldn't be prouder: "This Gold rating from the TEF is a testament to the dedication, talent, and passion of our people and our program. It's a badge of honor, showing that our students will get the best possible UK higher education experience right here, at our music-focused, industry-oriented institution. Congratulations to the whole team!"
This ain't our first rodeo, either. We kicked ass this year by grabbing the top Technology Enhanced Learning prize at the Independent Higher Education Awards 2023, showcasing our commitment to forward-thinking education. On top of that, we've blown past benchmarks in the National Student Survey, nailing a jaw-dropping 86% in Teaching Quality, an impressive 81% in Student Well-being, and a staggering 91% in Freedom of Expression. With our TEF Gold rating, these outstanding scores, and those iconic awards, we're solidifying our status as a top-tier music educator on the global stage.
