Tariff (2002 entry onwards)

From 2002 entry, the UCAS Tariff replaced Main qualification in UCAS data.

The UCAS Tariff establishes agreed equivalences between different types of qualifications, and reports achievement for entry to higher education in a numerical format. This allows comparisons between applicants with different types and volumes of achievement. Tariff data are only available for UK applicants.
