L6 Anthropology course codes

By UCAS's old subject scheme, a course code starting L6 means anthropology, in the social studies area (L). 59 courses at 32 UK universities use one for 2027 entry: most ask for between 48 and 120 UCAS points; 21 courses quote A-level grades instead, most often AAB. Another 158 joint honours courses carry L6 as their second subject.
