UCAS Points

RSL Awards’ qualifications aid progression into Higher Education. We have a huge range of performing arts qualifications at Level 3 that carry UCAS Points. This page explains what UCAS is, what UCAS Points are, and the amount of UCAS Points our qualifications carry.

What are UCAS Points?

UCAS rates qualifications and awards them a tariff score based on various factors. The points accrued by completing multiple qualifications which are on the UCAS tariff can be combined together to meet University entry requirements.

What is UCAS?

UCAS (Universities & Colleges Admissions Service) is a clearing house for applications to almost all full-time undergraduate degree programmes at UK universities and colleges.

The New Tariff

UCAS tariff points have changed for entry to Higher Education in 2017 and beyond. All qualifications in the new system carry far fewer points than was previously the case.

All qualifications have been reassessed by UCAS and had a new rating applied. For example a Grade A* at A Level used to carry 140 points under the old tariff. The same A* grade would now carry 56 points under the new system.

All of RSL’s qualifications have retained their value relative to equivalent qualifications from other Awarding Organisations.
