What are UCAS points?
UCAS points (also known as UCAS tariff points) convert your grades and qualifications into a numerical value. Most qualifications have a UCAS Tariff value, which vary dependent on the size of the qualification and the grade you achieved.
The higher the grade you achieve, the higher the number of UCAS points you'll receive.
How are UCAS points used?
Your UCAS points will be used by us or other course providers to assess whether you meet the entry requirements for a particular course.
An offer that is grade-based offer (e.g. ABC) means a student must achieve a certain combination of grades, whereas an offer that's based on UCAS points allows a student to use a combination of grades to meet the entry requirements.
