Description

This field records the Joint Academic Coding System (JACS 3.0) code for the academic discipline(s) currently being taught and/or researched by the member of staff
The UK higher education funding bodies intend to use this field to identify medical professionals/researchers in submissions made to REF 2021. This information will only be used after the exercise is complete and will play no part in the assessment itself.

Applicable toEngland Northern Ireland Scotland Wales
Coverage

All staff where any (Contract.ACEMPFUN is coded 1, 2 or 3 and Contract.TERMS is coded 1 or 2).

Notes

The current academic disciplines of staff are required by statutory customers for the monitoring and progress of strategically important and vulnerable subjects (SIVS). Statutory customers base their decisions to support subjects at risk on evidence which is gathered and developed regularly. This evidence, in part, comes from HESA Staff record.

This field should only be updated for staff who have undertaken a major shift in their academic activity. It will not necessarily be the case that the current academic discipline being taught and/or researched by the member of staff is the same subject as their highest academic qualification.

The Joint Academic Coding System (JACS3) provides for all subjects to be coded according to a common, truly hierarchical, four-character subject code. JACS3 will be used substantially in subject representation across the sector. The full JACS 3.0 classification provides definitions for each JACS subject to assist in coding.

Higher education providers (HEPs) are required to make appropriate use of the 4-digit JACS 3.0 coding in all subject areas. This is needed to future-proof work on strategically important and vulnerable subjects, so that as the landscape changes, it will be possible to assess the past performance of newly important subjects. There will be staff where it remains appropriate to code at principal subject level, but others for whom a more detailed code should be used. So for example, a member of staff working across Biology would be coded C100, but one working specifically in Biodiversity would be coded C181.

Where a member of staff works in more than one subject then upto three occurrences of this field should be used.

For those staff working in more than three subjects, the three codes that best reflect the discipline should be returned in this field.
