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 but which either–

Recognised bodies are:

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 2000 (S.S.I. 2000/293), which is revoked. It adds a new list, at Part III of the Schedule, of institutions offering courses leading only to Foundation Degrees. The Foundation Degree is a new English qualification, at a level below the Bachelor’s Degree, available after two years of study. (A number of institutions included in Part I offering courses leading to a degree also offer courses leading to a Foundation Degree.)

The Order also omits a number of institutions previously within the list but which are no longer validated by a recognised body, adds a number of institutions which have become listed bodies by virtue of new validation arrangements, and incorporates other minor amendments and name changes.
