Notes

This coding frame is determined by the National Statistics Country Classification 2006 (NSCC), which is based on ISO 3166-1 Codes for the Representation of Names of Countries and their Subdivisions, and the United Nations' Standard Country or Area Codes for Statistical Use. In a small number of cases, the NSCC usage differs from the usage in ISO 3166 on which the NSCC is based. Where that happens, the ISO 3166 usage is given in brackets after the preferred UK usage, to facilitate cross-reference to the international standard. For example for code KP the description is Korea (South). The text in brackets, [Korea, Republic of], is the ISO 3166 description.

Information in braces is provided by HESA to clarify usage, and is not derived either from NSCC or ISO 3166 lists of short country names, for example Spain {includes Ceuta, Melilla}.

Up to three occurrences of this field can be included in the data for a reporting period where the student has spent parts of the year in different countries.

AN: Netherlands Antilles

On October 10th 2010, the Netherlands Antilles (AN) was dissolved and its constituent island territories became constituent countries or special municipalities of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in their own right. Consequently, the Netherlands Antilles (AN) has ceased to be a valid code for entrants from 2011/12 onwards in DESTOCM, and has been superseded by the following codes:

CWCuraçao
SXSint Maarten (Dutch part)
BQBonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba

There is no obligation for institutions to recode continuing students recorded with a destination of the Netherlands Antilles (AN) to these countries, but they may do so if the information is available.

SD and SS: Sudan and South Sudan

South Sudan (SS), formerly part of Sudan (SD), became a country in its own right on July 9th 2011. There is no obligation for institutions to recode continuing students recorded with a destination of Sudan (SD) to the newer destination, but they may do so if the information is available.

EU, XP-XX, ZZ: Obsolete Countries, Regions, Stateless, and Unknown

The regional codes EU and XP to XX may be used if information is known only to this level of accuracy, in preference to using ZZ which should be a last resort. EU should be used in preference to XP if appropriate.
