Dear Mike
I was discussing this very point with the Warden at Goldsmiths on Monday -
neither of us could think of any place where STEM is defined by JACS codes,
or in any other non-headline way.
As I see it, it is a major difficulty in allocating the 10,000 unfunded
ASNs that HEFCE hasn't got any prospective way to tell what baseline of
STEM students institutions are recruiting from (that is, only after HESA
will they know at a sufficiently detailed level what subjects 1st year
students' were studying ...). How will they know whether we've also
breached the "no additional students on last years' total" rule?
