UCAS points calculator
Add your qualifications to see your UCAS tariff points, then enter your A-level grades to see degrees whose typical offer you meet.
How UCAS points work
Universities and colleges use UCAS tariff points to compare qualifications. Each grade has a points value; add them up across your qualifications. Many courses state their entry requirements as grades (such as AAB) rather than points, so check both.

Questions
How many UCAS points is AAB?
AAB at A level is 136 points: 48 for each A and 40 for the B.
Do all universities use UCAS points?
No. Many state their offers as grades, for example AAB at A level, and some list both. The course page says which.
Does an AS level count?
An AS level carries its own points (an A is worth 20) when it is a separate qualification. An AS taken on to the full A level in the same subject is not counted twice.
Are these offers official?
They are typical offers as published on each university's course page when we last read it. Offers change each year, so confirm on the course page before you apply.
