How TLevelled works

Four steps to find your course

1. 1

   Search

   Type a university name or course e.g. "Manchester" or "Computer Science".

2. 2

   Filter

   Use the Filters button to narrow by your predicted grade, Russell Group only, or to hide courses that don't accept T Levels.

3. 3

   Confirm

   Tap "Official page" on any card to open the uni's own admissions page. Always check there before applying - requirements update every cycle.

4. 4

   Save & share

   Tap "Save" on any card to build a shortlist - no account needed. Open it from the bookmark icon in the top bar, and share it as a link with a friend, parent or teacher.

Real example. Search "Manchester Computer Science" and filter to Merit or above. Manchester Metropolitan takes a Merit T Level Digital. The University of Manchester doesn't accept T Level Digital for Computer Science at all - you'd need A Level Maths. Same city, opposite answers. This is why every card matters.

How to read the directory

Each card shows one course at one uni. Here's what every piece of information means.

• Subject toggle

  Switch between T Level Digital, Engineering, Health and Accounting & Finance at the top of the directory. Each subject has its own set of courses, grade requirements, and pathway rules.

• Grade required

  The minimum overall T Level grade the uni asks for: Pass, Merit, or Distinction. Some review case-by-case (no fixed grade), and some don't accept T Levels at all. The grey text under the badge shows the uni's exact wording including any A Level Maths add-on (common for Engineering courses).

• Pathway specificity

  T Level Digital pathways: Software Production, Digital Support Services, Digital Business Services. T Level Engineering pathways: Design & Development, Maintenance, and Manufacturing, Processing & Control. T Level Health specialisms: Supporting Adult Nursing, Midwifery, Mental Health Nursing, Children's Nursing, the Therapy Teams, and Dental Health. Some unis also accept Healthcare Science or Science T Levels instead. T Level Accounting & Finance: unis usually accept the Accounting or Finance T Levels, and many also take related subjects like Management & Administration or Marketing. Some unis accept all pathways within a subject, others only specific ones. This field shows what the uni said about which pathways or specialisms count.

• Pathway confirmed

  If a card shows the green "Pathway confirmed" badge, the uni has explicitly named which T Level pathways or specialisms it accepts - match yours and you're safe to apply. If the badge is missing, the uni accepts the subject but hasn't told us which specific pathways count. Email admissions before applying to confirm yours is covered.

FAQ

• Does my T Level pathway or specialism matter?

  Yes. Some universities accept all pathways or specialisms within a subject, others specify which ones qualify. If a course doesn't show "Pathway confirmed", contact admissions before applying to confirm yours counts.

• What if I'm predicted Merit but the course asks for Distinction?

  Apply anyway. Most unis read applications holistically, not just by grade a strong personal statement and reference can outweigh a one-band gap. Specifically look for courses tagged "Case-by-case": that's where the uni reviews borderline predictions individually rather than auto-rejecting. The grade on the card is the published minimum, not the final word.

• Do Engineering courses need A Level Maths?

  It depends on the route. For direct entry to Year 1 at Russell Group universities, 8 of 9 engineering courses we track require A Level Maths alongside the T Level. By contrast, none of the 21 foundation or extended-year engineering courses we track lists A Level Maths as an additional requirement, but those routes add a preliminary Year 0 before the main degree. Outside the Russell Group, direct-entry requirements vary. Always check the grade text and official course page.

• Do Health courses accept any T Level specialism?

  Not always. Many Nursing and Midwifery degrees ask for the matching Supporting the Adult Nursing / Midwifery / Mental Health / Children's specialism. Therapy courses (Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy, Speech & Language) usually want Supporting the Therapy Teams. If the card shows "Pathway confirmed", the uni has named the specialisms it accepts if not, email admissions to check.

• How often is this updated?

  Data is compiled from official university admissions pages, last verified July 2026. Entry requirements for 2027 entry are updated by universities between August and October, so always confirm on the official course page before applying.

• Do universities accept T Levels?

  Yes. Most UK universities now accept T Levels for at least some courses. T Levels are Level 3 qualifications equivalent to three A Levels, and UCAS officially assigns them tariff points. Acceptance is course-by-course though, even at the same uni one degree might welcome T Level Digital while another rejects it. That's what this directory is for: check each specific course before applying.

• What are T Levels equivalent to?

  A T Level is equivalent in size and UCAS tariff to three A Levels. The overall grade maps directly: Distinction* equals A*A*A* (168 UCAS points), Distinction equals AAA (144), Merit equals BBB (120), Pass with a C or above on the core equals CCC (96), and Pass with a D or E core equals DDD (72). So if a uni's offer says "AAA or equivalent", a Distinction T Level usually qualifies.

• How many UCAS points is a T Level worth?

  The overall T Level grade converts to UCAS tariff points as follows: Distinction* = 168, Distinction = 144, Merit = 120, Pass (core grade C or above) = 96, Pass (core grade D or E) = 72. See the full T Level UCAS points table for how each grade maps to A Level equivalents. Each card in the directory also shows the exact UCAS tariff the uni expects for that course.

• Can you get into a Russell Group uni with a T Level?

  Yes. 14 Russell Group universities currently accept at least one T Level subject on at least one course, including Manchester, Leeds, Sheffield, Birmingham, Nottingham, Newcastle and Cardiff. Acceptance is course-specific, not blanket. Filter the directory by "Russell Group only" to see which exact courses are open to you, and look for the "Pathway confirmed" badge for the strongest signal.
