Course role (CourseRole)

All Courses

This entity records the organisations (CourseRole.HESAID) that play a particular role (CourseRole.ROLETYPE) in the associated Course.

Delivery organisations (all providers)

For all providers, this entity records the organisation(s) involved in the delivery of teaching or supervision of research of the Course, including associated proportions. This information should reflect the entirety of the Course and should take into account franchise Modules. The proportions of different organisations may be dependent on student Module choice. In these cases, the proportions returned should be based on the most common choices from students in previous years or the expected pathways for new Courses.

For example, a four-year course will have the first year delivered by Provider A and the remaining 3 years delivered by provider B.

The CourseRole entity would be returned twice:

If the provider doing the majority of the teaching or supervision of research changes, or there is a new teaching partner, a new Course would be required to be submitted and students associated with the appropriate version.

Funders (providers in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales)

For providers in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales, this entity additionally records the organisation(s) that fund the Course, including associated proportions. The element of the Course that is funded by the tuition fee should not be taken into account. If the Course is wholly funded by tuition fees, no funders should be returned.

For example, a Course is funded 50% by tuition fees, 25% by the Arts & Humanities Research Council (AHRC) and 25% by the EU Commission (EC)

The CourseRole entity would be returned twice and the tuition fee element would not be taken into account:

If the funders change, a new Course is not required to be returned, the CourseRole information must be updated to reflect the new funding arrangements.
