Additional Information
The 2022 Instrument for Higher Education Data Collection has now been released. A new version of element E462 is available in the 2022 higher education reporting requirements.
Combined courses must be assigned a substantive field of education (i.e. spaces or all zeros are not valid).
Report six zeroes for courses other than combined courses, even though some single-award courses may have dual strands
Element 461 (Field of education code) is to be used to indicate the primary field of education for the course and will be the element used in tables where continuity of statistical reporting is essential.
