The second edition of The Frameworks for Higher Education Qualifications of UK Degree-Awarding Bodies (published in February 2024) includes amended references to the UK Quality Code and the way that institutions are reviewed. These updates are intended to take account of the many changes made to the UK's quality arrangements, particularly in England, since the Frameworks document was first published in 2014. Defined terms have been updated, and the descriptions of the four main degree outcome classifications for bachelor's degrees with honours, formerly published as a separate annex to this document, have been included. These represent minor updates and the main elements of The Framework for Higher Education Qualifications of Degree-Awarding Bodies in England, Wales and Northern Ireland (FHEQ) and The Framework for Qualifications of Higher Education Institutions in Scotland (FQHEIS) remain unchanged. This document is now also available in Welsh.
