This Order varies New College Durham’s existing Degree Awarding Powers authorisation so that it remains valid indefinitely. This Order also removes the restrictions stated in articles 3 and 4 of the Power to Award Degrees etc. (New College Durham) Order of Council 2017 so that New College Durham may now authorise other institutions to grant awards on its behalf, and so that New College Durham may grant awards to persons who were not enrolled at the institution at the time they completed the course of study for which the award is granted.
