my letter says that i will be accepted as long as i get 240 UCAS tariff points from at least 2 a levels so does that include my as grades as well or just a2?

I think that includes all your a and as levels, but 2 need to be full A Levels.
So for full A Levels A = 120 B = 100 C = 80 D = 60 E = 40

240 points can be made up of 2 A grades (for full A levels)
However the most common set of grades in order to get 240 UCAS points is CCC (i.e. 3 full A levels)
Note that CCC is also equivalent to BCD and ACE grades. If you are unsure as to what the offer is asking, call the university.
If you need 240 UCAS Tariff points from at least 2 A Levels that means you need to pass a minimum of 2 full A Levels. Unless it says otherwise, you can make up the rest of the points using AS Levels or other full A Levels.
At AS the points are;
A = 60 points B = 50 points C = 40 points D = 30 points E = 20 points
At A Level;
A = 120 points B = 100 points C = 80 points D = 60 points E = 40 points
So you could get two E and a D at A Level (so 20 points + 40 points) and then get 3 As in OTHER AS Levels (180 points) to make your 240 points.
So you could get two E and a D at A Level (so 20 points + 40 points)
That should be 40 and 60 points for A Level!
Which means you would need 140 points from AS levels for instance.
But basically yeah, you need to include 2 Full A Levels as part of your offer, and you can make the rest up with AS Levels. To the OP - do you have any AS levels at the moment? If so, what grades did you get in them (any that you aren't carrying on to A2, that is). Then we can figure out what you might need to get for your A2s
EDIT: Thinking about it, from looking at your UMS grades, you seem to have got CCC at AS right? If you carry that on for A2 you'll be fine.
