K4 Planning course codes

By UCAS's old subject scheme, a course code starting K4 means planning, in the architecture, building and planning area (K). 47 courses at 21 UK universities use one for 2027 entry: most ask for between 48 and 112 UCAS points; 19 courses quote A-level grades instead, most often ABB. Another 18 joint honours courses carry K4 as their second subject.
