<p>Under current guidance[1], some types of degree-awarding powers (i.e. for institutions
in the further education sector and institutions that are not funded by the Higher
Education Funding Council for England) are made on a six-yearly renewable basis. Therefore,
these powers are not automatically renewed.</p><p>As set out in published guidance[2],
in circumstances such as a change of ownership or control, an assessment is made of
any provider with university title or degree-awarding powers to determine whether
the change would affect the continuing eligibility of that provider to hold university
title or degree-awarding powers.</p><p> </p><p>[1] ‘<a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/526813/BIS-15-525-degree-awarding-powers.pdf"
