The code to be assigned to a specialisation is to be selected from the field of education classification.
Up to four specialisation codes may be reported for a student’s course.
The specialisation code may be different to the code assigned to indicate the field of education for a course, because the specialisation code will reflect the majors undertaken by a student.
