UK recognised degree
94. For a qualification to be considered a UK recognised degree, it must have been awarded
by a UK recognised body. A qualification will have been deemed to have been ‘obtained’
on the date on which you were first notified in writing, by the awarding institution of the
award.
95. A UK recognised body is an institution which has been granted degree awarding powers
by a Royal Charter, an Act of Parliament or the Privy Council. All UK universities and some
higher education colleges are UK recognised bodies.
96. Further information on the UK recognised bodies can be found on the Gov.UK website at
www.gov.uk/recognised-uk-degrees-recognised-bodies.
