Where KISCourse.KISTYPE = 1 or 2

This field should contain a URL for a web-page that contains further details about the financial support available to students. It is for institutions to decide whether the page is course specific although the decision should be driven by the degree to which support varies between individual courses.

For institutions in England, the page linked to by KISCourse.SUPPORTURL should include a prominent reference to the National Scholarship programme, indicated in Institution.NSP.

Institutions in Wales will need to ensure that the page also contains details of, or links to, further information about the costs of study as detailed in the HEFCW circular W10/07HE.

This field must not be returned where KISCourse.KISTYPE = 3.

Valid URL
