T Levels provide several progression options for students, including:
skilled employment
an apprenticeship
higher education
To help T Level students progress into higher education, UCAS tariff points are allocated to T Levels. UCAS points are allocated to the overall T Level grade. Students must achieve at least an overall pass grade to receive UCAS points.

an allocation for students that have passed the core component and completed the industry placement
an allocation for students that have passed the occupational specialism component and completed the industry placement
As the relative weighting of the core and occupational specialism for each T Level varies, the UCAS points for partial achievement will also vary across T Levels. Tariff allocations for partial achievement of each T Level are available on the UCAS tariff calculator. You can find a list of higher education institutions who accept T Levels for entry onto one of their courses.
