Arts Students' Union (Arts SU) has responded to a consultation by the Office for Students (OfS) on the future approach to quality regulation in higher education.

The OfS recently consulted students' unions on proposed changes to how it measures and regulates the quality of education you receive as a student. It also asked about proposed changes to the Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF), a national assessment of higher education providers like universities and the overall quality of the education they offer students. This consultation, the proposed changes, and our response to it are all vital steps to ensure that the workshops, lectures, and seminars you attend at UAL meet the excellent quality that you deserve.
