G5 Information systems (older codes) course codes

By UCAS's old subject scheme, a course code starting G5 means information systems (older codes), in the mathematical and computer sciences area (G). 68 courses at 36 UK universities use one for 2027 entry: most ask for between 64 and 112 UCAS points; 11 courses quote A-level grades instead, most often AAB. Another 72 joint honours courses carry G5 as their second subject.
