D3 Animal science course codes

By UCAS's old subject scheme, a course code starting D3 means animal science, in the veterinary, agriculture and related area (D). 156 courses at 52 UK universities use one for 2027 entry: most ask for between 64 and 104 UCAS points; 17 courses quote A-level grades instead, most often CCC - ABB. Another 29 joint honours courses carry D3 as their second subject.
