What is the UCAS Tariff?
Allocating Tariff points to Level 3 and SCQF Level 6 apprenticeships
From September 2026 onwards, Level 3 and SCQF Level 6 apprenticeships will be included in the UCAS Tariff, enhancing pathways and progression to higher education.
Overview of UCAS Tariff Points for Apprenticeships
For the 2026 cycle, we are introducing a new Tariff points structure that now includes Level 3 apprenticeships alongside A-levels, T Levels, and other post-16 qualifications. These changes aim to support apprentices' progression to higher education by creating a unified system that helps universities and colleges evaluate apprenticeship qualifications against traditional academic routes. This guide provides an overview of the recent changes, including the new calculation method, key points for providers, and the impact on apprenticeship pathways into higher education.

Amendments to the Tariff consultation
In July 2021 UCAS launched a consultation into a number of proposals relating to the information we make available about qualifications and their use in progression to higher education. The scope of this consultation included the current Tariff (but not the methodology behind the calculation of Tariff points) and Qualification Information Profiles.
Entry requirements
Each course, and most universities and colleges, have different requirements – usually a mix of qualifications, subjects, or exam grades. Learn more about them here.
