UK programme delivery verification pending
Existing UK programme records are not shown as city-delivered programmes until an official programme page is explicitly verified against a delivery campus. Institution presence is never used to infer programme delivery.
The current linkage value is therefore not presented as “0 programmes”. Verified delivery will appear only after explicit programme-offering-to-campus evidence is published.
