It positions our programme as a benchmark for quality in postgraduate education within the field."

Commenting on the recent first endorsement of this scheme, Dr Matthew Timmis FBASES, co-Chair of the HE Endorsement Scheme Advisory Group said, “Being able to endorse the first postgraduate degree through the BPGES is an important milestone for BASES as we are now able to recognise and endorse postgraduate delivery in addition to undergraduate delivery.
