F6 Geology course codes

By UCAS's old subject scheme, a course code starting F6 means geology, in the physical sciences area (F). 125 courses at 29 UK universities use one for 2027 entry: most ask for between 104 and 128 UCAS points; 43 courses quote A-level grades instead, most often AAB. Another 38 joint honours courses carry F6 as their second subject.
