Line 1:
The '''Joint Academic Coding System''' (JACS) system is used by the [[Higher Education Statistics Agency]] (HESA) and the [[Universities and Colleges Admissions Service]] (UCAS) in the [[United Kingdom]] to classify academic subjects
A JACS code for a single subject consists of a letter and three numbers. The letter represents the broad subject classification and subsequent numbers represent further details, similar to the [[Dewey Decimal System]]. For example, F represents the Physical Sciences, F300 Physics, F330 Environmental Physics and F331 Atmospheric Physics.
