UCAS Tariff Points with Cambridge English Examinations
The UCAS Tariff is the
system for allocating points to qualifications used for entry to higher
education. It allows students to use a range of different qualifications to help
secure a place on an undergraduate course. Further information can be found at
http://www.ucas.com/
Under the new arrangements announced recently, overseas students applying
to UK universities in 2011 will be able to gain valuable UCAS Tariff points if
they hold selected high level English tests from University of Cambridge ESOL
Examinations.
The two Cambridge English language certificates that will be accepted are
Cambridge Advanced (CAE) and
Professional (CPE) which have become an internationally recognised standard
of language ability in a range of sectors. UCAS points awarded to Cambridge
