UCAS Tariff

The UCAS Tariff is a points system used by UK universities to assess and compare students' qualifications for admission. It assigns point values to different types of qualifications, such as A-levels, BTECs, or other academic or vocational credits. When students apply to universities through UCAS, their qualifications' points are totaled to demonstrate their academic achievement and help universities make admission decisions. The Tariff provides a standardized way to compare diverse qualifications, ensuring a fairer application process for students with different backgrounds and study paths.
