Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order designates The Scottish Agricultural College as an institution of higher education for the purpose of Part II of the Further and Higher Education (Scotland) Act 1992.

Designation of The Scottish Agricultural College as an institution of higher education has been granted by the Scottish Ministers following a designation audit by the UK Universities' Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education based on a set of criteria in relation to quality set out by the Scottish Government.
