N4 Accounting course codes

By UCAS's old subject scheme, a course code starting N4 means accounting, in the business and administration area (N). 256 courses at 92 UK universities use one for 2027 entry: most ask for between 72 and 112 UCAS points; 60 courses quote A-level grades instead, most often AAB. Another 213 joint honours courses carry N4 as their second subject.
