Introduction

The GCC's Degree Recognition Criteria have been agreed with the current UK providers of chiropractic education.  These Criteria are reviewed on a regular basis and are designed to ensure that graduates meet the requirements of the GCC’s Code of Practice and Standard of Proficiency for the Competent and Safe Practice of Chiropractic.

We welcome submissions from potential new providers of degrees in chiropractic.

The recognition and monitoring process

When Council is satisfied that a degree programme meets the GCC's criteria, the final step in the process is that the Privy Council must give its formal approval for the degree to be recognised for the purposes of the Chiropractors Act 1994. 

Thereafter the education provider must provide an annual report to our Education Committee so that we can be sure that the degree programme continues to meet our criteria and any conditions of recognition.  If problems arise that cannot be rectified, then (subject to the approval of the Privy Council) the GCC can remove recognition.

The full recognition process is repeated every five years.
