Q8 Classical studies course codes

By UCAS's old subject scheme, a course code starting Q8 means classical studies, in the linguistics, English and classics area (Q). 62 courses at 21 UK universities use one for 2027 entry: most ask for between 114 and 128 UCAS points; 30 courses quote A-level grades instead, most often AAB. Another 89 joint honours courses carry Q8 as their second subject.
