Council for National Academic Awards (Great Britain)

Variant names

Hide Profile

The CNAA was founded by Royal Charter in 1964, with the object of advancing education, learning, knowledge, and the arts by means of the grant of academic awards and distinctions. The Council did this by approving courses at educational institutions other than universities and granting degrees to persons who carried out research under conditions approved by the Council. Boards of Studies, later Committees ensured that the degrees were comparable to those granted by universities. (Draft article for Library Review, A.M. Ridley and J.S. Weir, June 1984, file CN/M, miscellaneous files). The Council ceased to exist in 1993.
