ABSTRACT
In recent years, the United Kingdom has made fruitful explorations in the external evaluation of universities, the most notable of which is the development of three outstanding series of university evaluation frameworks. In the process of the formulation, implementation, and evolution of these three excellence frameworks, we can not only discover many of its advantages but also observe some of the controversies it has caused and the thinking and efforts made to resolve disputes. These advantages or controversies are mostly similar to the previous ones. The problems in the external evaluation of universities mentioned are closely related. Therefore, this research will focus on the formation of this excellent framework system, compare the commonalities of each excellent framework, extract the basic characteristics of the excellent framework system, analyze its existing disputes and future development trends, and provide a reference for improving the external evaluation system of foreign universities.
