UCO achieves precious Silver rating in Teaching Excellence Framework

University Campus Oldham is proud to announce a Silver rating in the Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF), a national exercise that assesses the quality of teaching, learning environments and student outcomes in higher education.

The rating reflects sustained investment in academic support, small-group teaching and employability-focused programmes delivered in partnership with leading universities. Assessors noted strong progression rates, responsive pastoral care and the accessibility of university-level study for learners across Greater Manchester.

Principal and Chief Executive commented: "This outcome validates what our students tell us every day — that UCO offers a supportive, career-focused environment where they can thrive. We remain committed to widening participation and delivering excellence in teaching."

The Silver award applies to the institution's higher education provision and will be displayed across UCO marketing materials and partner communications for the next assessment cycle.
