What can I do with 72 UCAS points?
Any course with a points-based offer of 72 or fewer is met by BEE on its own. Offers are published as a number on ucas.com, so compare 72 with the figure on the course page. Some courses ask for named grades instead of points, and a points total cannot stand in for a named grade in a named subject.
Every grade combination worth exactly this total, including two A level and single qualification routes, is on the 72 UCAS points page.
