G6 Software engineering (older codes) course codes

By UCAS's old subject scheme, a course code starting G6 means software engineering (older codes), in the mathematical and computer sciences area (G). 115 courses at 57 UK universities use one for 2027 entry: most ask for between 80 and 128 UCAS points; 20 courses quote A-level grades instead, most often See entry requirements. Another 43 joint honours courses carry G6 as their second subject.
