UCAS Tariff points translate qualifications and grades into a numerical value that universities can use to make admissions processes and requirements fairer. Many Level 3 (or above) qualifications have a UCAS Tariff value but the amount of points depends on the qualification and the grade you achieve.
If a qualification is not on the UCAS Tariff as equivalent, is an overseas qualification, or is not listed, then it can still be considered if the duration and course content is at a similar level to A Level (Level 3) or above. You can find out more about how to apply with alternative qualifications in this article.
For international qualifications and admissions please contact your International Branch Office and speak to an adviser.
