What are Level 3 qualifications?
Generally, universities require Level 3 qualifications and these are usually awarded UCAS Points. Examples of Level 3 qualifications include A-Levels, International Baccalaureate (IB), and BTEC Level 3 diplomas.
The list of recognised qualifications is vast however, the UCAS website gives you a full list of qualifications and more information on how the tariff works. Search ‘UCAS tariff points’ on ucas.com
You can check how many UCAS points your qualifications are worth by using the UCAS Tariff Points calculator. Just search ‘tariff calculator’ on ucas.com
Some universities may specify a number of UCAS points or grades required for a particular subject. If a university is asking for UCAS tariff points, it is important to check if there are any qualifications they will not accept. A university, for example, may ask for 112 UCAS tariff points but may add, “General Studies A-Level and AS qualifications and key skills qualifications will not be considered”.
