W9 Other creative arts course codes

By UCAS's old subject scheme, a course code starting W9 means other creative arts, in the creative arts and design area (W). 41 courses at 28 UK universities use one for 2027 entry: most ask for between 48 and 104 UCAS points; 8 courses quote A-level grades instead, most often AAB. Another 26 joint honours courses carry W9 as their second subject.
