(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order specifies SRUC, a higher education institution, as competent to grant degrees, diplomas, certificates and other academic awards or distinctions except where the award or distinction is made on completion of a programme of supervised research.
Article 3(2) provides that the institution may grant such awards and distinctions in respect of courses and programmes of study completed on or after 14 October 2024.
Article 3(3) ensures that the competence to grant academic awards and distinctions continues to apply should the institution be renamed.
