Consider the BSc course '''Mathematics and Physics''':

*The principal subject code for Mathematics is '''G1''', and the principal subject code for Physics is '''F3'''.

*The combined code is '''GF13''' because the letters always precede the numbers.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://digital.ucas.com/courses/details?coursePrimaryId=971ecf84-8baf-0c4e-9e6c-86af084bca98&courseOptionId=42a85295-0a17-343c-680a-6eda9fe5f58a|title=Mathematics and Physics – University of Edinburgh|publisher=UCAS|accessdate=9 May 20272017}}</ref>

Another example is '''Music and Philosophy'''. The principal subject codes are '''W3''' (Music) and '''V5''' (Philosophy). The combined codecodes isused are '''WV53'''.,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://digital.ucas.com/courses/details?coursePrimaryId=ba5c79da-fe87-a452-7220-8a1d5dd10b07&courseOptionId=446cc56a-7a90-ee90-ffd2-7069e1f4d695|title=Music and Philosophy – Durham University|publisher=UCAS|accessdate=9 May 20272017}}</ref> '''WV35'''<ref>{{cite web|url=https://digital.ucas.com/courses/details?coursePrimaryId=4cda0d62-c344-54ff-4366-6923d47a1c16&courseOptionId=d1355c12-0f5c-0226-bccb-960dd320e0ec|title=Music and Philosophy – University of Nottingham|publisher=UCAS|accessdate=10 May 2017}}</ref> or '''VW35'''.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://digital.ucas.com/courses/details?coursePrimaryId=e36cff50-021c-36d0-e37a-4131d3ce26ad&courseOptionId=4f560230-1ba8-9164-05e7-b642636809a2|=Music and Philosophy – University of Sheffield |publisher=UCAS|accessdate=10 May 2017}}</ref>

The same letter can be used twice (if the two subjects are within the same general subject area), such as '''FF53''' for '''Astronomy and Physics'''.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://digital.ucas.com/courses/details?coursePrimaryId=da6c889b-6c5d-7cb8-734e-ccd169d6f63a&courseOptionId=e71c28df-bce5-5dd0-5703-0b3850ef8c1c|title=Astronomy and Physics – University of Glasgow|publisher=UCAS|accessdate=9 May 2027}}</ref>
