V1 History by period course codes

By UCAS's old subject scheme, a course code starting V1 means history by period, in the history, philosophy and religion area (V). 251 courses at 90 UK universities use one for 2027 entry: most ask for between 96 and 120 UCAS points; 82 courses quote A-level grades instead, most often AAB. Another 402 joint honours courses carry V1 as their second subject.
