Thousands of UK nationals have bought fake degrees from a multi-million pound "diploma mill" in Pakistan, a BBC Radio 4's File on Four programme investigation has found.
Buyers include NHS consultants, nurses and a large defence contractor.
One British buyer spent almost £500,000 on bogus documents.
The Department for Education said it was taking "decisive action to crack down on degree fraud" that "cheats genuine learners".
