European Diploma Supplement - 5.2 Professional status (if applicable)

The following professions for which the University provides programmes of education and training are subject to statutory regulation by the UK Government: doctors, dentists, nurses, midwives, social workers and schoolteachers. 

Other professions are regulated by a specialist college, society or institute with its own individually prescribed examinations and requirements for membership. The accreditation/recognition of one of the University's programmes by one or more of these professional bodies may be on the basis that the programme meets in full its membership requirements or that success in the University's examinations, possibly at a prescribed level of attainment, gives exemption from all or some of the professional body's membership examinations. Holders of University awards accredited/recognised by such a professional body may apply for membership of that body on an individual basis and thereafter maintain or extend their membership by continuing to meet the professional body's requirements, which usually include payment of annual membership fees.

Any accreditation, professional or statutory recognition of the programme of study followed by a holder of an award of the University is shown on the transcript element of this supplement. Details of the current professional standing of a holder of one of the University's awards is certified by the relevant professional or statutory body independently of documentation produced by the University.
