Definition
The academic discipline field is created following the rules for the Classification of academic disciplines for HESA. It contains the academic discipline as required in the individual staff return for field "academic discipline" (field 18).
The classification uses method 1, which is to be used for the staff return and the 2 character coding frame.
A major/minor combination is possible for two disciplines only.
The definition of balanced and major/minor is:
"...
a. `Balanced' Combinations
A `balanced' combination is one in which each of two subjects forms at least 40% of the overall programme of study. These are coded by combining the 2-character codes to form a four character code OR 3-character codes to form a six character code; the letters relating to the subjects are placed together at the beginning of the code and related digits following. The letters are placed in alphabetical order and the digits follow in respective order to the linked letters.
Example
A balanced combination of F1 Chemistry and G5 Computing Science would be represented by :
FG15 Chemistry AND Computing Science.
b. `Major/ Minor' Combinations
A `major/ minor' combination is one in which one subject is dominant, forming 60% or more of the programme of study; the remaining subject will form between 25% and 40%. A component of less than 25% is ignored for the purposes of recording subject combinations. Major/ minor combinations will be encoded by simply concatenating the two relevant subject codes to form a four or six character overall code; the major subject code will be placed first followed by the minor subject code.
Example
A major/ minor combination with F1 Chemistry as the major subject and G5 Computing Science as the minor subject would be represented by :
F1G5 Chemistry WITH Computing Science.
