H4 Aerospace engineering course codes

By UCAS's old subject scheme, a course code starting H4 means aerospace engineering, in the engineering area (H). 194 courses at 52 UK universities use one for 2027 entry: most ask for between 72 and 128 UCAS points; 53 courses quote A-level grades instead, most often AAB. Another 39 joint honours courses carry H4 as their second subject.
