V2 History by area course codes

By UCAS's old subject scheme, a course code starting V2 means history by area, in the history, philosophy and religion area (V). 22 courses at 12 UK universities use one for 2027 entry: most ask for between 72 and 104 UCAS points; 2 courses quote A-level grades instead, most often BBC. Another 76 joint honours courses carry V2 as their second subject.
