The code for your programme, as seen in the Programme & Unit Catalogues,
is the Programme (CRS) code. The CRS bit distinguishes it from other related
codes in our student administration system, SAMIS.
The programme (CRS) codes assigned to programmes which are starting
or continuing in the 2004/05 academic year are made up of 10 alphanumeric
characters (e.g. USCH-AFB01) in the following manner:

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.
