Q1 Linguistics course codes

By UCAS's old subject scheme, a course code starting Q1 means linguistics, in the linguistics, English and classics area (Q). 75 courses at 25 UK universities use one for 2027 entry: most ask for between 104 and 134 UCAS points; 37 courses quote A-level grades instead, most often AAA - A*AB. Another 125 joint honours courses carry Q1 as their second subject.
