UCAS Points Converter

Convert your AP exam scores, IB diploma results, or GPA into UK UCAS Tariff Points — and see which universities your grades open up.

What are UCAS Tariff Points?

UCAS (the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service) is the centralised system used to apply to undergraduate programmes at UK universities. UCAS Tariff Points convert different qualifications — A-levels, IB, AP exams, BTECs, and more — into a single comparable points score.

Universities set minimum tariff point requirements for each course. For example, a competitive Russell Group programme might ask for 144 points (equivalent to AAA at A-level), while a broader-entry programme might ask for 112 points (BBC).

This tool is for undergraduate applicants. Postgraduate applicants typically apply directly to universities and do not use UCAS tariff points.

Add each AP exam you have taken (or plan to take). Scores of 3, 4, or 5 qualify for UCAS tariff points.

About UCAS Points: The UK Tariff converts your qualifications into a comparable points score. Universities set their own minimum points — always check each course's specific entry requirements. Only AP scores of 3, 4, or 5 earn UCAS points.

Disclaimer: UCAS tariff points shown are based on the 2023 UCAS Tariff and are for guidance only. Individual universities and courses set their own entry requirements — always check directly with admissions offices before applying. North American qualifications (GPA, AP, IB) are assessed holistically by UK universities; this tool provides an approximate comparison only.
