Explanatory note
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order adds the bodies listed in the Schedule to the list of bodies in the Education (Listed Bodies) Order 1997. A body so listed is not a recognised body within section 214(2)(a) or (b) of the Education Reform Act 1988, but it either
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
is a constituent college, school or hall or other institution of a university which is such a recognised body.
A recognised body within section 214(2)(a) or (b) of the 1988 Act is a university, college or other body which is authorised by Royal Charter or by or under Act of Parliament to grant degrees, or a body which is permitted by a body so authorised to act on its behalf in the granting of degrees. Such degrees are “recognised awards” and the provision in section 214(1) of that Act, which makes it an offence to grant, offer to grant or issue any invitation relating to certain unrecognised degrees and awards, does not apply to them.
