Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order lists the name of each body which is not a recognised body within section 214(2)(a) or (b) of the Education Reform Act 1988(3) but which either–

(a)provides any course which is in preparation for a degree to be granted by such a recognised body and is approved by or on behalf of that body; or

(b)is a constituent college, school, hall or other institution of a university which is such a recognised body.

Recognised bodies are universities, colleges or other bodies which are authorised by Royal Charter or by or under Act of Parliament to grant degrees and other bodies for the time being permitted by these bodies to act on their behalf in the granting of degrees.

Such degrees are “recognised awards” and section 214(1) of the Act, which makes it an offence to grant or issue any invitation relating to certain unrecognised degrees and awards, does not apply to them.

The Order updates and replaces the list of bodies contained in the Education (Listed Bodies) Order 1999(4) which is revoked. It omits a number of institutions previously within the list, which have been authorised to award degrees under section 76 of the Further and Higher Education Act 1992(5), and adds other institutions.
