L1 Economics course codes

By UCAS's old subject scheme, a course code starting L1 means economics, in the social studies area (L). 363 courses at 90 UK universities use one for 2027 entry: most ask for between 96 and 128 UCAS points; 123 courses quote A-level grades instead, most often AAB. Another 348 joint honours courses carry L1 as their second subject.
