Howard Davies: Policy Briefing: Recognition of professional qualifications

Meanwhile, uncertainty still surrounds the eventual arrangements by which the EU and the UK might recognise each other’s professional qualifications. These pressures contribute to make of recognition a rapidly evolving field in which the higher education sector has a significant interest.

Knowledge and awareness of fraud in education: a student perspective
