How to use the codes when you shortlist

The MQA/FA and KDN references on each course page are the identifiers you can use to verify a programme's registration and validity period. Because validity dates differ by programme (for example, BDS runs to 11/25 while Physiotherapy runs to 06/30), confirm the current status on the course page before applying, especially if your intake falls near an expiry date.
