UCAS
UCAS stands for Universities and Colleges Admissions Service. It is the centralised service that students use to apply to university. Everyone who wants to study an undergraduate degree in the UK will have to apply through UCAS.
This online platform stores all of the elements of a university application together, including personal details, qualifications, university choices and personal statements. This prevents different elements being lost, and also allows us to monitor our student applications to ensure that none are lost and deadlines are met.
Every grade is worth a certain number of tariff points. Some universities use tariff points (click here) instead of grades to give you some flexibility - for example instead of asking for BBB, they might ask for 120 points. Then you could get in with BBB or ABC.
