Becoming a Recognised Teaching Centre

The University of London has a Network of over 100 Recognised Teaching Centres in different countries all over the world.

If you are interested in supporting our students or would like your existing support to be more formally recognised, we encourage you to review the Becoming a Recognised Teaching Centre  introduction document, which provides information on how the University considers institutions for recognition.

Teaching Centre Recognition Framework

Our Teaching Centre Recognition Framework is a mechanism for formally recognising teaching centres offering support for the University’s programmes.

Recognised Teaching Centres must demonstrate that they meet a set of quality criteria in order to be granted, and subsequently maintain, Recognised Teaching Centre status.

Recognised Teaching Centres must demonstrate that they meet these criteria by providing appropriate evidence, and the University monitors Recognised Teaching Centres against these criteria.

Teaching Centre Recognition Framework criteria

How to apply

The University of London has a rigorous three-stage process to ensure that every prospective Recognised Teaching Centre meets the quality and standards of the University.

Stage 1

Applications and submission of Stage 1 documentation to become a New Recognised Teaching Centre are only processed during a specific three-month period each year. The next application window is from 1st October 2024 to 7th March 2025. Applications can be submitted at any time throughout the year; however, they will only be formally processed during this period.

Stage 2

The prospective Recognised Teaching Centres who meet the quality and standards of the University of London will then be given the opportunity to progress to Stage 2, where further information and documentation will be required for submission.

Stage 3

After further quality assurance checks are met, applicants will move to Stage 3 for formal board and committee approvals.
