How to work out Ucas Points?

UCAS points - University?

• Im 17 years old and Im at college now. Lets says that to be able to do music at university, I need to have 360 UCAS points. If I do music course at college which I get MMM and that is 240 UCAS point, and then another course but different one, for example ICT, and I gain 120 UCAS points, would univeristy accept 360 UCAS points in different areas, or does in have to all for example in music? Thank you !

• Answer:

  No, you wouldn't need 360 UCAS points from just music. You will need to gain a total of 360 collectively from the courses you take now. I need 320 UCAS points which is AAB for example. So I need to get an A in one subject (120 points), a B in another subject (100) and another B in my final subject to make the 320 UCAS points.
