The values on this page are reproduced from the UCAS Tariff tables for 2024 entry onwards. UCAS can add or revise entries between cycles, so before relying on a figure for an application, confirm it on ucas.com and read the entry requirements of the course itself.
How T Level is scored
A T Level is a two-year technical programme with a 45-day industry placement, and UCAS treats it as the size of three A levels. That is why a Distinction* matches A*A*A* at 168.
The overall grade combines a core component, graded A* to E, with one or more occupational specialisms graded Pass, Merit or Distinction. Two versions of Pass exist because a Pass with a core grade of C or above is worth more than one with a D or E.
Not every university accepts T Levels for every course yet, particularly for degrees that want specific A level sciences. Ask the course before you rely on the points.
Add it to your total
The calculator includes this qualification as a type you can add, alongside anything else you hold. If your other qualifications are Level 3 diplomas from OTHM or Qualifi, they will show as adding nothing, because they carry no Tariff points; the routes page explains what they lead to instead.
