X1 Teacher training course codes
By UCAS's old subject scheme, a course code starting X1 means teacher training, in the education area (X). 150 courses at 65 UK universities use one for 2027 entry: most ask for between 96 and 112 UCAS points; 12 courses quote A-level grades instead, most often BBB. Another 67 joint honours courses carry X1 as their second subject.
Compare these courses, filter by entry grades and shortlist with the joint honours too
Codes in use
Universities choose their own codes, so most subjects have several. A code naming two subjects is a major/minor degree.
