UCAS exam boards/awarding organistation

I'm in the middle of completing my UCAS application for 2012 entry, and I've hit upon a bit of a problem.

I will be graduating from the University of Stirling in June 2012 and when I try to enter the degree info for this on the education section it's asking for the awarding organisation/exam board. Does anyone know who this is (particularly in Scotland)? I thought maybe it would just simply be 'University of Scotland' but it stops me typing beyond about 5 letters. =S

Any help would be great thanks =)

I am having this same issue! I am trying to apply through UCAS to do a PGDE after I complete my Bsc Biology in June 2012, but in the Education tab I can't find anything to put in the awarding organisation/exam board. It's driving me mad, I've never used UCAS before as I applied for my degree through clearing so I'm totally confused! How annoying, glad to se someone else is having this issue.

Let me know if you have solved this problem! Oh and I'm at Stirling as well...

Thanks!

There should be an option for 'other' or 'the Awarding Body is not listed here' - if there isn't, just leave that section blank, as unis award their own degrees so it should be obvious what's happening.

Oh I just realised you had replied! I actually ended up phoning UCAS and they told me just to either abbreviate Stirling somehow, or just put UNI in the box. Why they couldn't put that in the help section I don't know! Hope that helps, good luck with your application! =)

Thank you! You too!
