M2 Law by topic course codes

By UCAS's old subject scheme, a course code starting M2 means law by topic, in the law area (M). 90 courses at 46 UK universities use one for 2027 entry: most ask for between 64 and 112 UCAS points; 8 courses quote A-level grades instead, most often ABB. Another 75 joint honours courses carry M2 as their second subject.
