Professional, Statutory and Regulatory Bodies

Professional, Statutory and Regulatory Body (PSRB) accreditation describes the accreditation, approval or recognition of specific programmes by bodies such as the Royal Society of Chemistry or the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors.

Accreditation satisfies external Professional, Statutory and Regulatory Bodies that learning and achievement by students at the University meet national professional Benchmarks.
