UCAS Points Calculator — 2026 University Applications

This UCAS points calculator converts your A-Level, AS-Level, International Baccalaureate, EPQ, and Scottish qualification grades into UCAS tariff points for UK university applications. The UCAS tariff system allows universities to compare applicants across different qualification types on a single points scale, with A-Level grades ranging from A* (56 points) down to E (16 points).

Most Russell Group universities require between 128 and 200 UCAS points depending on the course and competitiveness, while post-92 universities typically ask for 96 to 128 points. Always check the specific entry requirements for your chosen course, as some universities specify required grades in individual subjects rather than total tariff points alone.
