Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order lists the name of every body which is not a recognised body within section 216(4) of the Education Reform Act 1988 but which appears to the Welsh Ministers to either—

(a)provide a 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 recognised body; or

(b)be a constituent college, school, hall or other institution of a university which is 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 those bodies to act on their behalf in the granting of degrees.

This Order updates and replaces the list of bodies contained in the Education (Listed Bodies) (Wales) Order 2007, which was amended by the Education (Listed Bodies) (Wales) (Amendment) Order 2009. Both those Orders are revoked by this Order. A number of bodies are omitted from the list as they no longer provide courses which are approved by or on behalf of a recognised body. The list includes bodies that were not listed in previous Orders, but which now provide courses that are approved by or on behalf of a recognised body. A number of minor amendments have also been made to the list to take account of the name changes since the 2007 Order was amended.
