I've heard that you can get Tariff points for doing work experience or travelling. Is that correct?
No. UCAS Tariff points are allocated following successful completion of a level 3 qualification which has been allocated points. It is, however, possible to use activities gained from a wide variety of experiences to inform a course of study that does attract Tariff points.
