<p>Providers must meet clear criteria in order to obtain degree awarding powers or
University Title, including demonstrating that they are delivering high quality higher
education. As set out in published guidance[1], if there is a change in circumstances
of a provider – such as a change of ownership –their eligibility is reviewed to ensure
that these robust criteria are still being met. Providers need to demonstrate that
they continue to be the same institution that was assessed for and granted degree
awarding powers, and that they can still meet all University Title criteria.</p><p>Such
reviews have taken place following the changes of ownership at the University of Law
and Arden University.</p><p> </p><p>[1] Guidance for higher education providers: criteria
