96 UCAS points is where a very large share of UK undergraduate entry sits. Post-1992 universities, London campuses of northern universities and most Business and Computing degrees publish 96 to 112 points.

At 96 points you have real choice, especially in Clearing and at January and May intakes, where universities routinely accept 96 for courses advertised at 112.

If you are just below 96, the integrated foundation year route usually opens at 48 to 64 points and adds one year to a degree you would otherwise not qualify for.
