Why some unis have different entry requirements for the same course?

I've noticed that a lot of unis require the amount of ucas points that are equivalent to a BBC but say that they want AAA, and I don't know what requirement to go off of.

If they set grade requirement that is what you need to achieve. Leading universities dont use ucas points. Which university and course is this for. It is extremely unusual for a discrepancy between 144 points and 112 points.

Are both requirements listed on the unis website?

You always look at the entry requirements on that University's website for the relevant course page.
And only that.

Third party websites - including UCAS - jumble up entry requirements and are therefore unreliable/confusing/unhelpful.
