Anne Rowlands talk at the ALRG London and south east groups first meeting: 9th May 2012
Outlining the merger process CoFHE and UC+R groups are undergoing.
2. Landmark move allows institutions to take significant
step forward in higher education provision. FE colleges
will be able to offer their own foundation degrees for
the first time in a landmark step towards institutions
obtaining full degree-awarding powers.
NCG - formerly known as Newcastle College Group -
has been granted foundation degree-awarding
powers, following lengthy scrutiny by the Quality
Assurance Agency for Higher Education (QAA). New
College Durham has also been given the green light.
