C3 Zoology course codes

By UCAS's old subject scheme, a course code starting C3 means zoology, in the biological sciences area (C). 158 courses at 52 UK universities use one for 2027 entry: most ask for between 96 and 128 UCAS points; 31 courses quote A-level grades instead, most often AAB. Another 26 joint honours courses carry C3 as their second subject.
