Preston University Ajman is accredited by the Pakistan Higher Education Commission (HEC). Degree transcripts for graduating students come from Preston University Kohat in Pakistan, or from foreign universities with which Preston Ajman has a partnership. PU and other degrees awarded after studying at PU in Ajman might not be recognised or attested by the UAE Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research. Bedfordshire University (UOB) in the UK has a partnership with Preston University in Ajman according to both UOB and PU websites. Not clear when it was announced. PU and UOB website information appears to be dated June or July 2010. UOB Board of Governors meeting February 2010 minutes say The Board received a report that provided a summary of the potential to establish a transnational education (TNE) partnership with Preston University in Ajman. UOB website now says The University of Bedfordshire is pleased to announce a new agreement with Preston University, Ajman. PU website now says We, a campus of Preston University, Kohat, Pakistan (NOC by the HEC – Higher Education Commission of Pakistan) are pleased to announce and proud to have the University of Bedfordshire as our education partner here in the UAE. A report in December 2009 of an honorary doctorate from UOB awarded to the Ruler of Ajman referred to a partnership between UOB and PU that had already been in existence for a year, but it appeared under that arrangement that PU students were travelling to the UK, rather than UOB courses being offered in Ajman.
