This Order amends the Education (Listed Bodies) (Northern Ireland) Order 2004 to add Kensington College of Business, London City College and the School of Technology and Management to the list of bodies providing courses in preparation for a degree.
Article 3 (1) of the Education (Unrecognised Degrees) (Northern Ireland) Order 1988 (“the 1988 Order”) makes it an offence to grant, offer to grant or issue any invitation relating to certain degrees and awards. This does not apply to anything done in relation to a recognised award. A “recognised award” means—
(a)any award granted or to be granted by a university, college or other body which is authorised by Royal Charter or Act of Parliament to grant degrees; or
(b)any award granted or to be granted by any body for the time being permitted by any body falling within sub-paragraph (a) to act on its behalf in the granting of degrees.
The Education (Listed Bodies) (Northern Ireland) Order 2004 contains the list of the names of each body which is not a recognised body within Article 3 (2) (a) or (b) of the 1998 Order but which either—
(a)provides any course which is in preparation for a degree to be granted by a recognised body and is approved by or on behalf of the recognised body; or
(b)is a constituent college, school, or hall or other institution of a university which is a recognised body.
