What is a Unit Code?
The Unit Code is a series of letters and numbers that provides information about what it is you are studying. It contains the level of study, the field (like Biblical Studies), the discipline within the field (Old Testament), and then a unique identity number. The B at the end of the Unit Code identifies the unit as delivered by Eva Burrows College.
Eg. BN3148B = B for Biblical Studies, N for New Testament, 3 for the level of study, 148 is the unique number for the unit Paul's Letters for Today, and B is for Eva Burrows College.
