Course name

This is a mandatory field for all courses.

Enter a description of the course. This can be up to 120 characters long.

The course name should always be the exact name of the course, as marketed in your prospectus or on your website.

You should not enter any other information (for example, study mode or a course attribute such as placement) as part of the course name. All other attributes will be captured elsewhere when you create the course. Showing the course name exactly as you market it will help your students apply for the correct course the first time.

If you have courses that share a course and UCAS code (for example courses that run with or without a sandwich or placement year), you should still include a unique identifier in the course title. For example, you could call the course 'Business Studies with placement year'. This will help your attendance return in the Student Information Service (SIS) if you are using the file import option.

For postgraduate doctoral courses, the course name should include a unique identifier. This can be the subject or faculty, for example, civil engineering. The course name should not be a generic doctoral course or the title of a student’s thesis.
