The Policy and Research department support the Officer team to prepare for committee meetings with University Leadership as well as leading and supporting research undertaken by Arts SU to better know the issues affecting our students. In the past we've released research on the Cost of Study, Decolonising the Curriculum, and Student Housing.

Teaching Excellent Framework

in the 2022/2023, Arts SU submitted the student submission report for UAL's Teaching Excellent Framework (TEF) award submission.

The Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) is a national exercise incentivising improvement and excellence in teaching, learning and student outcomes at universities and colleges. The TEF rates universities and colleges for excellence above a set of minimum requirements for quality and standards, which they must satisfy if they are regulated by the Office for Students (OfS).

The TEF student submission is an opportunity to provide insights about students’ views to help inform the TEF panel’s assessment of the institution.

In the 2022/2023 academic year, Arts SU submitted the student submission report for UAL's Teaching Excellent Framework (TEF) award submission. This report was created by Calum Sherwood (Policy & Research Officer) and Sof Nasif (LCC Officer 2022/23)
