K2 Building and surveying course codes

By UCAS's old subject scheme, a course code starting K2 means building and surveying, in the architecture, building and planning area (K). 193 courses at 48 UK universities use one for 2027 entry: most ask for between 64 and 112 UCAS points; 31 courses quote A-level grades instead, most often CCC. Another 22 joint honours courses carry K2 as their second subject.
