C7 Molecular biology and biochemistry course codes

By UCAS's old subject scheme, a course code starting C7 means molecular biology and biochemistry, in the biological sciences area (C). 216 courses at 68 UK universities use one for 2027 entry: most ask for between 88 and 128 UCAS points; 58 courses quote A-level grades instead, most often AAB. Another 36 joint honours courses carry C7 as their second subject.
