Field Derivation Rule: Include for all Student entities.

Derivation Steps:

  1. Derive from the Person HESA Data page.

  2. Select person citizenship records and retrieve the related two-character code (COUNTRY_2CHAR) from the Country table (PS_COUNTRY_TBL).

    If a single record exists, derive the Campus Solutions country code.

  3. If multiple person citizenship records are found and a record has a value of GB, derive as GB.

  4. If multiple records are found, and none have the GB country value but a minimum one record has a country value that is marked as European Union (EU) country then derive the EU country. If there are multiple EU countries report the one with the lowest alphabetic HESA code. Note that the PS_COUNTRY_TBL contains an indicator (EU_MEMBER_STATE) to specify if the country is a member of the EU.

  5. If multiple records are found and none have the UK or EU value, select the lowest alphabetic code

  6. Use default.

  7. Derive as NULL.

In most cases, you can use the Campus Solutions two-character country code to report the NATION value. However, some Campus Solutions country codes are not valid for HESA reporting. For example, the Campus Solutions Cyprus code (CY) cannot be reported. Cyprus has to be reported as XA, XB, or XC. In these cases, you must use the Nationality code mapping page to ensure the correct NATION values are reported to HESA.
