Quality and standards in higher education

Quality and standards
National Student Survey results on the Teaching Quality Information (TQi) website
Information on education quality and standards is available from a variety of sources.

THE UK HE sector is very diverse and this makes any rankings difficult and subjective, therefore the UK does not have an official system of university rankings measuring education quality.

The pages in this section describe how education quality and standards are measured and how this information is collated and where it can be accessed.
