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. |
