Which Universities Accept UCAS points?

Hi guys,
I'm kinda new here and i'm going into my second year at sixthform,
I sort of ballsed up my first year at sixthform only getting: ADUU meaning I had to drop two of my subjects picking up an AS and EPQ.
I know, even if I achieve excellent grades I will not be able to get into a very good university, but my question is:
Which Uni's accept ucas tariff points?
I know some of you's may encourage me to resit another year or stay on another year to get a third A2, but just out of curiosity is there a list of universities or a website that tells you which accept tariff points?
Thanks

The UCAS website lists entry requirements for each course - even in a specific university some courses may ask for 3 A levels while others will accept 2 + AS + EPQ.

There's no shortcuts for doing your own research I'm afraid.

Depending on your subjects then it might be worth investigating HND or Foundation Degree options - these 2 year courses can usually be topped up with a 3rd year to convert them into a full degree if you do well enough at university. Alternatively if you're willing to take an extra year then a foundation year might be an option but you'd need to do your research into whether that's a good route for you or not.

Tariff points are changing for 2017 entry. 300 points in the new tariff would be more than AAAAAA at A level (6 A levels)

(and although *most* of their courses ask for the equivalent of BBB at A level there is a bit of variation between courses eg http://www.dmu.ac.uk/study/courses/undergraduate-courses/pharmacy-mpharm-hons-degree/pharmacy-mpharm-hons.aspx asks for more, http://www.dmu.ac.uk/study/courses/undergraduate-courses/photography-and-video-ba-degree/photography-and-video-ba-degree.aspx asks for less)

Hey guys, thanks for all your input & knowledge, it's appreciated :smile:
After doing some research if I achieve the grades I am aiming for with my 2 A2's an AS and EPQ I could do the degree I want (Business, Business Managenent etc) at quite a lot of universities.
Some I have found are: University of Hull, University of Demontfont, Bournemouth, Buckingham, Hertfordshire, there are a few more.
Are any of you here looking at any of these universities?
