UCAS Points FAQ
Answers to the most frequently asked questions about the UCAS Tariff, university entry requirements, and combining qualifications.
UCAS Tariff points are a numerical way to compare different Level 3 qualifications (like A-Levels, BTECs, and the IB Diploma). Each grade is assigned a specific point value, allowing universities to set flexible entry requirements that can be met through various combinations of qualifications.
No. While many universities use the Tariff to express entry requirements, some (including several Russell Group universities) prefer to make specific grade offers, such as ‘AAB at A-Level’. Always check the specific course page on the university’s website or UCAS Hub.
An A* at A-Level is worth 56 UCAS Tariff points. An A is worth 48 points, a B is 40 points, a C is 32 points, a D is 24 points, and an E is 16 points.
Yes, you can combine points from different Level 3 qualifications (e.g., two A-Levels and one BTEC Extended Certificate). However, universities typically cap the number of qualifications they count, often limiting it to the equivalent of 3 or 4 A-Levels (maximum 144–168 points).
