From September 2026 onwards, Level 3 and SCQF Level 6 apprenticeships will be included in the UCAS Tariff, enhancing pathways and progression to higher education.

The UCAS mission is to inspire and empower people to make aspirational choices about the full range of post-16 options. The inclusion of apprenticeships on the UCAS Tariff will enhance the visibility of pathways to higher education for apprentices, and support universities and colleges to understand apprenticeships alongside A levels, T Levels, and other Level 3/SCQF Level 6 programmes of study.

Following a number of engagement exercises with the sector, UCAS is now progressing with implementing the Tariff points for Level 3/SCQF Level 6 apprenticeships.

Next steps

UCAS will be providing enhanced support and guidance to all audience groups in the coming months.

Tariff points for Level 3 and SQCF Level 6 apprenticeships will be published on ucas.com in May 2025, and applicable to the September 2026 cycle.
