Q2 Comparative literature course codes
By UCAS's old subject scheme, a course code starting Q2 means comparative literature, in the linguistics, English and classics area (Q). 36 courses at 15 UK universities use one for 2027 entry: most ask for between 120 and 126 UCAS points; 19 courses quote A-level grades instead, most often ABB. Another 100 joint honours courses carry Q2 as their second subject.
