J5 Materials technology course codes

By UCAS's old subject scheme, a course code starting J5 means materials technology, in the technologies area (J). 39 courses at 10 UK universities use one for 2027 entry: most ask for between 104 and 136 UCAS points; 18 courses quote A-level grades instead, most often ABB. Another 4 joint honours courses carry J5 as their second subject.
