Programme (CRS) codes

The code for your programme, as seen in the Programme & Unit Catalogues, is the Programme (CRS) code. The CRS bit distinguishes it from other related codes in our student administration system, SAMIS. The programme (CRS) codes assigned to programmes are made up of 10 alphanumeric characters (e.g. USCH-AFB01) in the following manner:

Numeric identifier (2 characters): used to identify particular Programmes within a group that otherwise has common characteristics; each individual programme would be associated with its own particular name

This element should be assumed to have no intrinsic significance. Within the group of programmes which have the following common characteristics, for example:

Undergraduate; Faculty of Science; Department of Mathematical Sciences; Bath main campus; Full-time; Bachelor-aiming (USMA-AFB ...)

the number at the end only serves to separate different individual programmes.
