| Notes |
Enhanced degrees should be coded 07 'Unclassified honours', if not classified. HESA aggregates codes 07, 08, 10 and 11 as "unclassified". Medical degrees which are not honours programmes should be coded 10 or 11. Code 14 - Pass can be used for undergraduate or postgraduate qualifications which do not attract any form of class or grade e.g. Postgraduate research students. It is expected the CLASS for HND and HNC qualifications would be coded 12, 13 or 14. If you award qualifications with a class not represented in this coding frame, please contact Liaison. |
