W6 Film and photography course codes

By UCAS's old subject scheme, a course code starting W6 means film and photography, in the creative arts and design area (W). 289 courses at 100 UK universities use one for 2027 entry: most ask for between 64 and 104 UCAS points; 39 courses quote A-level grades instead, most often ABB. Another 92 joint honours courses carry W6 as their second subject.
