UAL - extended diploma and UCAS points

22.7K Posts


Hi, Can someone help. Struggling to understand information on-line.
My 18yo daughter is on her 2nd year at college (equiv to yr13) studying UAL extended diploma performance and production arts. She has been made an offer by a top London drama school for one of their degree course. It is conditional on her having 120 UCAS points and I'm struggling to work this out.
The UAL qualification gives her 3 grades (like taking 3 A levels would), one is awarded at the end of the first year where she received a merit. The other two grades will be awarded when her course finishes later this year from Distinction, Merit, Pass.
We're trying to work out what she needs to go with her current 1 Merit mark. I've gone on here put a merit grade in for UAL and it says 120 UCAS. But she doesn't get one overall grade she gets three. Surely 1 merit doesn't equal 120 UCAS points? Do you have to divided the UCAS points by 3 to work this out so her 1 merit is currently equal to 40 UCAS?
