UCAS Points And What They Mean

Learn more about UCAS points and our entry requirements

There are numerous different ways to study at Staffordshire University. But with so many qualifications available, it’s important to have one scale to measure everything. That’s where UCAS points come in.

The UCAS tariff converts the grades you achieve into points. That way, a wide range of qualifications can be compared and considered during the application process.

For some courses, specific subjects and grades may also be required. The tables opposite will help you see how your grades convert into UCAS points, so you can start working out exactly what you need.

The information below is designed to help you calculate the number of UCAS points awarded to the different qualifications you may have studied.
