Quality and standards in English higher education

Standards

Students should receive qualifications upon completing a higher education course from, or on behalf of, a provider registered with the OfS that:

  • meet standards that appropriately reflect relevant sector-recognised standards;
  • only awarded to students whose knowledge and skills appropriately reflect any applicable sector-recognised standards.

We set this requirement for providers that are considering registering with us, and on an ongoing basis through our conditions of registration.

We have published full details of the sector-recognised standards.
