Please note that the Higher Education Data and Information Improvement Programme (HEDIIP) has published its final suite of reports about the Higher Education Classification of Subjects (HECoS) subject coding project, including details of the scheme, vocabulary, governance model, and adoption plan. The reports are available at https://www.hediip.ac.uk/subject-coding-report-library/.
HECoS will replace the current JACS3 system. HEDIIP suggests that the likely roll-out of changes to data collection will be managed as part of the HESA Data Futures Programme, meaning that the earliest date for HECoS to be in active use would be the 2018- 2019 academic year.
We are considering how this change can be integrated with the redevelopment of our core collect, search and application management services and will be seeking feedback from higher education providers.
