The UCAS mission is to inspire and empower people to make aspirational choices about the full range of post-16 options. The inclusion of apprenticeships on the UCAS Tariff will enhance the visibility of pathways to higher education for apprentices, and support universities and colleges to understand apprenticeships alongside A levels, T Levels, and other Level 3 programmes of study.
Following engagement with sector stakeholders from across the UK, UCAS has developed a model for allocatingTariff points to apprenticeships that we believe meets the aims and guiding principles of the project, as set out in the engagement document. UCAS now wants to take the views of the wider sector on this model.
After reviewing responses to the public engagement exercise, it is hoped that UCAS Tariff points for apprenticeships will be available for providers to consider when assessing applications to higher education from September 2024 onwards.
Next steps
We are inviting all interested parties to read the 
public engagement document (1.22 MB) and respond to the accompanying questions.
The engagement exercise will be open for responses between Thursday 23 May 2024 until Thursday 20 June 2024.
All feedback received will be reviewed and a formal announcement on the outcome will be made in the summer.
