Award of degrees

1. Award of degrees

The College is authorised to award first and postgraduate taught degrees and specialist doctorates of the University of London to students registered as students of the College. This authority shall be exercised by the Master in accordance with procedures made by the Academic Board which may permit the delegation of that authority to the Vice-Master.

2. Revocation of degrees

On behalf of the College and in accordance with Ordinance 13, the Master on the recommendation of the Academic Board may revoke any degree, diploma or certificate granted by the College and all privileges connected therewith, if it shall be discovered at any time and proved to the satisfaction of the College that:

1. there was an administrative error in the award made under the relevant procedures; or
2. subsequent to the award, a Board of Examiners, having taken into account information which was unavailable at the time its decision was made, determines that a candidate’s classification should be altered.
