WHAT ARE T LEVELS ?
WHAT IS AN INDUSTRY PLACEMENT? An industry placement is essentially work experience in the industry. With T Levels this work experience is taken to the next level with industry placements lasting around 315 hours (45 days). The number of hours and how they are scheduled can also differ between T Levels. CAN T LEVELS BE USED FOR ENTRY TO UNIVERSITY? T Levels are worth up to 168 UCAS (Universities and Colleges Admissions Service) points (the same as three A Levels), meaning they can be used for entry to a range of university degree programmes.
EQUIVALENT TO THREE A LEVELS
The UK Government has a list of Higher Education providers that accept T Levels. This includes Russell Group Universities such as the University of Leeds, the University of Manchester, the University of York and the University of Birmingham.

It is important that you check with the university that they accept your T Level to their degree programme.
I’M NOT SURE WHAT CAREER I WANT YET, IS A T LEVEL RIGHT FOR ME? The majority of a T Level is dedicated to the study of ‘Core Content’ which develops broad sector-based knowledge and a range of transferable skills such as teamwork, communication and problem solving which can be applied to any industry.
