Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Order)
The power of the University of Aberdeen to confer degrees derives from the power vested in its Chancellor in persona by the University’s Papal Bull of 1495. This Order gives the University of Aberdeen the power to grant degrees and other academic awards and distinctions jointly with other institutions; to authorise other institutions to grant such awards on its behalf; and after due investigation, to deprive persons of such awards.
Article 3(3) provides that the institution may grant such awards and distinctions in respect of courses and programmes of study completed on or after 1st September 2008.
