An Overview: Degree Programme Tables
View an overview of the EUCLID Degree Programme Table (DPT) workflow, including the process and timetable for creating and amending your school DPTs within the Academic year.
What are Degree Programme Tables (DPTs)?
The bullet points below provide an introduction to the function of DPTs:
- Degree Programme Tables (DPTs) sets out the normal regulated path for a degree
- They are published online within the Degree Regulations & Programmes of Study (DRPS) web site and used by enquirers, applicants and students to find out the content of a degree
- Students follow the curriculum for their chosen degree programme as set out in the DPT
- DPTs describe where courses are compulsory or where there is the option to choose between elective courses
- EUCLID provides online tools for you to manage the creation and amendment of Degree Programme Tables
DPT Editors
To edit DPTs you will need the 'DPT Editor' EUCLID role setup for you by Student Systems. This role will allow you to amend any DPT for your school. If you need to be allocated the 'DPT Editor' role, please apply using our online form below:
DPT Editor workflow
The image below describes the workflow of a DPT from the view point of a DPT Editor, beginning with a new programme being requested in EUCLID, and ending in the activation of the new DPT and ongoing maintenance within the context of the academic year.
Consumer protection law
In creating and maintaining our DPTs you must ensure that the curricula details you record and advertise are in compliance with consumer protection law. Click on the link below to download the document detailing the CMA advice for higher education institutions:

University policy

- enhance student experience by providing accurate, consistent, and usable information on programmes and courses.

Downstream impact
When creating and maintaining DPT informaiton within EUCLID, it is important to be mindful of the downstream impact that the details have. The image below describes how your DPT data can be viewed by enqurers, applicants and students via the publication of DPT data via the online DRPS, have an impact on Student Advisers and students when they enrol on courses, students viewing their results, progression and awards when they are calculated and published, and when we send our student data to the Highter Education Statistics Agency (HESA), your DPT details can be viewable by all within the Key Information Sets (KIS) or Unistats website.
