F1 Chemistry course codes

By UCAS's old subject scheme, a course code starting F1 means chemistry, in the physical sciences area (F). 329 courses at 60 UK universities use one for 2027 entry: most ask for between 104 and 136 UCAS points; 85 courses quote A-level grades instead, most often ABB. Another 78 joint honours courses carry F1 as their second subject.
