What are UCAS points, and why do they matter?

What are UCAS points? UCAS tariff points convert your qualifications and grades into a single numerical value, reflecting both the level of the qualification and the grade you achieved. Understanding how UCAS points work is key to seeing how different qualifications contribute to your university application.

Applying to UK universities is more competitive than ever. Top grades are only part of the story: admissions officers look for applicants who demonstrate initiative, commitment, and real-world learning. An accredited supercurricular course is evidence that a student has gone beyond the classroom to develop higher-level skills such as research, communication, and independent learning. Completing one has a dual benefit: not only does it strengthen your personal statement, but it can also boost your UCAS point total – a factor many Russell Group and top-tier universities consider when reviewing applications.
