Documentation
Definition
The Highest academic qualification is used to indicate the highest academic qualification earned by the member of staff for HESA purposes.
This is field 17 of the HESA Individualised Staff return.
Note
Honorary degrees and post-doctorate degrees are to be excluded.
If a member of staff has more than one of the above academic qualifications, institutions may use their own discretion to determine which qualification is the "highest". For example, some of the qualifications classified under code 56 'Other overseas HE qualification' could be considered "higher" than those classified under code 21 'Other higher degree of UK institution'.
It is recognised that for some staff, a professional qualification, if held, may be more important, up-to-date or relevant than their academic qualification. Field 19 will record if a member of staff holds a professional qualification.
If field 17 'Highest academic qualification' is coded either 60 'No formal academic qualification' or 99 'Not known', then field 18 should be left blank.
