The QAA and BCS have a set of national benchmarks and course descriptors that degree programmes have to follow if they want to be validated or accredited. There's a lot of flexibility within them for specialist modules, but some key topics have to be covered in all.

The idea that these benchmarks have anything meaningful to add is a ludicrous. If you think a 1st from Anglia Ruskin is Comparable with a 2nd from Cambridge you need your slide rule checked.
Undergraduate degree courses being standardised - since when? We don't even have the same high school level courses and exams across the UK...
