C5 Microbiology course codes

By UCAS's old subject scheme, a course code starting C5 means microbiology, in the biological sciences area (C). 93 courses at 34 UK universities use one for 2027 entry: most ask for between 72 and 128 UCAS points; 20 courses quote A-level grades instead, most often AAA - AAB. Another 19 joint honours courses carry C5 as their second subject.
