Understanding UCAS Points
UCAS Tariff Points provide a way to compare different qualifications for university entry. Universities use them to set entry requirements, but many also specify subject and grade requirements.
Typical Entry Requirements
- 144+ points: Oxbridge, top Russell Group (Medicine, Law, Engineering)
- 120-144 points: Russell Group universities, competitive courses
- 96-120 points: Most universities, wide range of courses
- 72-96 points: Many universities, various courses
- 48-72 points: Some universities, foundation courses
Important Notes
- • UCAS points are just one part of your application — personal statements, references, and work experience matter too
- • Many competitive courses specify exact grade requirements (e.g., AAB at A-level) rather than just points
- • Some subjects require specific A-levels (e.g., Chemistry for Medicine)
- • Points don't carry over between application cycles — they must be current qualifications
- • Not all universities use the UCAS Tariff — some use grade-only requirements
