Description

To record qualifications held prior to the start of the course

Applicable toEngland
Coverage

All postgraduate course entrants, that is, students where Student.COMDATE is in the current reporting period where Student.QLAIM is a postgraduate qualification (Student.QLAIM = 020, 021, 031) or (Student.TTCID = 1 and Student.ITTAIM = 201).

Notes

This entity records the relevant previous degree qualifications the student has gained, such as an undergraduate degree, masters or PhD etc. The NCTL would expect a student’s first degree and the qualification that awards them a higher level of bursary to be returned.

The following example shows where a trainee would only qualify for a Tier 3 bursary if the bursary was based upon the first degree gained. Therefore adding the masters qualification and including it as the BURSFLAG will clearly indicate to the NCTL why a Tier 2 bursary payment has been selected in Student.BURSLEV.
