R8 European studies course codes

By UCAS's old subject scheme, a course code starting R8 means European studies, in the European languages area (R). 16 courses at 5 UK universities use one for 2027 entry: most ask for between 104 and 120 UCAS points; 1 course quote A-level grades instead (A*AA). Another 24 joint honours courses carry R8 as their second subject.
