T Level university acceptance statistics
About this data: every figure on this page is based on the universities and courses we have collected on TLevelled, not on every UK university or degree course.
Most UK universities accept T Levels. We checked 111 of them by hand across six T Level subjects and 633 course requirements - 109 accept at least one T Level. Every requirement was checked against the university's official admissions pages.

Russell Group is the UK's 24 research-intensive universities (Oxford, Manchester, Leeds and the like). Foundation Year is an extra first year that lets you start a degree without meeting the direct-entry grades. Each university is counted once even when it accepts the T Level on several courses; courses a university turns down are not counted.
Common questions
- How many universities accept T Levels?
- 109 UK universities accept at least one T Level across the six subjects TLevelled tracks (Digital, Engineering, Health, Accounting & Finance, Education & Early Years and Legal Services), from 633 course requirements checked against official admissions pages in October 2026.
- How many Russell Group universities accept T Levels?
- 19 of the 24 Russell Group universities accept at least one T Level across the subjects checked, spanning 100 courses. Acceptance is course by course, not university-wide - always confirm the requirement on the specific course page.
- What grade do universities ask for with a T Level?
- Of courses that publish a T Level grade (excluding those assessed case by case or with no published grade), 82.5% ask for Merit or above (339 of 411). Requirements vary by subject - see the per-pathway table.
How these numbers are counted
- Each course requirement was read from the university's official admissions page and recorded by hand, then verified in October 2026.
- “Merit or above” is measured over courses that publish a T Level grade. Courses assessed case by case, or with no published grade, are excluded from both the numerator and the denominator - so the percentage is not diluted by courses that name no grade.
- Acceptance is recorded course by course, never inferred university-wide. A course counts as accepting unless the university explicitly refuses the T Level for it.
- These figures describe published requirements, not offers. Always confirm the current requirement on the specific course page before applying.
