HESA aggregates codes 07, 08, 10 and 11 as "unclassified". Medical degrees which are not honours programmes should be coded 10 or 11. Codes 12-14 are only available for students who have achieved an integrated taught masters degree. Providers may return these students using codes 01-11 if these are more meaningful. Codes 51-90 are the codes to be used for FE level students at providers in England and Wales. A grade should be returned for all qualifications where the grade is meaningful. Other codes should not be used for FE level students. |
