There is a need to reduce complexity, promote consistency and ensure the distinct identities of awards and pathways.

The definitions of Single Awards, Pathways, Joint Awards and Minors have been updated.

Expectations

• Programmes should adopt the approved Degree Nomenclature .
• Joint Awards (unequal) in the same combination of subjects, but with different majority/minority combinations, should only be offered where there is a clear justification.
• There should not be both Joint Award (equal) and Joint Award (unequal) in the same combination of subjects
• There should not be a Joint Award (equal) and a Minor in the same combination of subjects.
