V3 History by topic, incl. art history course codes

By UCAS's old subject scheme, a course code starting V3 means history by topic, incl. art history, in the history, philosophy and religion area (V). 66 courses at 29 UK universities use one for 2027 entry: most ask for between 104 and 128 UCAS points; 20 courses quote A-level grades instead, most often AAB. Another 135 joint honours courses carry V3 as their second subject.
