Abstract

The Research Excellence Framework (REF) and Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) are large-scale forms of peer review of universities’ research and teaching activities. They are not without their controversies, but can have an indirect impact on you as a postgraduate student. This article provides an overview of what the REF and TEF are, how these are assessed, some of the controversies surrounding them, and what this means for postgraduate students.
