N3 Finance course codes

By UCAS's old subject scheme, a course code starting N3 means finance, in the business and administration area (N). 205 courses at 75 UK universities use one for 2027 entry: most ask for between 80 and 120 UCAS points; 54 courses quote A-level grades instead, most often ABB. Another 238 joint honours courses carry N3 as their second subject.
