Full degree awarding powers awarded to Dyson Institute

The Office for Students (OfS) has awarded full degree awarding powers to the Dyson Institute. This follows completion of a successful probationary period, and means that the Institute will be able to award its own qualifications, without any restrictions.

Office for Students chair

The Department for Education has announced that Lord Wharton of Yarm has resigned as chair of the Office for Students (OfS).

OfS communications in the pre-election period

As a non-departmental public body, the Office for Students is subject to Cabinet Office guidelines during the pre-election period. This means that, until the general election on 4 July 2024, we will be publishing less content than usual.
