Guide for use: | The field of education classification is used to describe the principal subject matter of higher education and VET courses and units of study. This is also referred to as the Australian Standard Classification of Education (ASCED). Its main purpose is to ensure courses, specialisations and units of study with the same or similar vocational emphasis are reliably classified as belonging to the same "field of education". It is used nationally in all administrative and survey collections which incorporate data on education by field. For more information on the structure of the field of education classification, refer to the Tertiary Collection of Student Information (TCSI) appendices, codes and tables. |
