NTU has been awarded Gold for teaching in the 2023 Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) assessment

TEF is a national scheme run by the Office for Students. It aims to encourage higher education providers to deliver excellence in teaching, learning and achieving positive outcomes.

Our Gold rating means that, typically, the student experience at NTU, and the outcomes it leads to are outstanding.

NTU has been named a Top 10 University for Work Experience in the RateMyPlacement Awards 2023

This ranking demonstrates our commitment to providing exceptional opportunities for our students to gain practical skills and valuable experience in their chosen fields. It also reflects the hard work and dedication of the Employability Team and our employer partners who work hard to create meaningful and impactful work-like experiences for our students every day.
