Frequently asked questions
How do grades make up UCAS Tariff points?
We accept a range of qualifications and the grades you achieve or are predicted to achieve make up UCAS Tariff points.
We typically ask for a maximum of four qualifications to make up your points. These can be the same type of qualification or a combination such as A-levels, BTECs or an extended project. If you are taking more than four qualifications, we’ll take your four highest grades to make up the total points.
Your UCAS Tariff points can help you understand whether you're on track to meet the entry requirements for your chosen course.
Once you've calculated your points, you can:
- Check the entry requirements for the undergraduate courses you're interested in
- Compare different course options and see which ones match your qualifications
- Use predicted grades if you're still studying to understand the points you could achieve
- Review your application plans and make sure you're prepared for key UCAS deadlines.

If your UCAS Tariff points are lower than the typical offer for a course, check the course page for more information about entry requirements and contact our Admissions team for advice. You may also find opportunities through Clearing if places are available.
