F8 Physical geography course codes

By UCAS's old subject scheme, a course code starting F8 means physical geography, in the physical sciences area (F). 198 courses at 58 UK universities use one for 2027 entry: most ask for between 96 and 126 UCAS points; 53 courses quote A-level grades instead, most often AAB. Another 53 joint honours courses carry F8 as their second subject.
