C4 Genetics course codes

By UCAS's old subject scheme, a course code starting C4 means genetics, in the biological sciences area (C). 81 courses at 28 UK universities use one for 2027 entry: most ask for between 72 and 120 UCAS points; 20 courses quote A-level grades instead, most often AAA - AAB. Another 30 joint honours courses carry C4 as their second subject.
