Updates to TEF outcomes

A provider’s TEF outcome may change after it was awarded, for example as a result of a merger, the outcome of an appeal, or if the eligibility status of a provider changes.

All changes to providers' TEF outcomes are published with immediate effect on the TEF outcomes webpages. You can see what changes have been made below.

Changes to awards are also updated on the Discover Uni and UCAS websites - although there may be a slight time lag before these updates are displayed.
