The following is a list of subjects taken from the undergraduate study guide. It is possible to get the postgraduate list and that list is different (some subjects are taught at both levels, some at UG and not PG and some at PG and not UG). For reasons listed on the parent subject page this analysis was abandoned prior to completion, but not before it was clear that basing our subject work on this list was inappropriate.
The only other thing worth saying at this stage is that the purpose of this list is "explaining course codes" or at least the first four (alpha) characters. For example, if a future student reads of a course reference ACCY130 they can easily identify that this is an accounting course (and using the first digit a 100 level of first year of an undergraduate programme). Even more helpful if the code was QUAN which is econometrics.
