Q4 Ancient languages course codes

By UCAS's old subject scheme, a course code starting Q4 means ancient languages, in the linguistics, English and classics area (Q). 21 courses at 6 UK universities use one for 2027 entry: entry from 104 to 134 UCAS points; 16 courses quote A-level grades instead, most often ABB. Another 63 joint honours courses carry Q4 as their second subject.
