Graduate Entry Medicine at Liverpool: 2027 Entry

Liverpool publishes the scoring it uses to rank A101 applicants for interview in Appendix 1 of its departmental supplement. The highest-scoring applicants who meet the minimum criteria are invited. Your UCAS personal statement and reference are not routinely used for this decision.

Two things stand out. The overall GAMSAT score alone can earn up to 500 points, and Liverpool explains that Section 3 reflects current science knowledge, which it says matters particularly for applicants with a non-science degree or who have been out of education for some time. And the course page states that selection is weighted towards applicants with significant paid healthcare experience (two years) and registered healthcare staff with post-qualification experience.

1. 1

   Stage 1: GAMSAT threshold

   Only applicants with an overall GAMSAT score of at least 50 and no section below 50 move on. Liverpool calls this a first and non-negotiable requirement that contextual information does not change. Valid sittings are March and September 2025, and March and September 2026.

2. 2

   Stage 2: points

   Applications are scored on GAMSAT, degree, healthcare and voluntary experience, and evidence of a widening participation background, using the published tables.

3. 3

   Stage 3: interview

   The most competitive applicants are invited. The supplement's format sentence, still worded for 2025 entry, says interviews are likely to be face-to-face multiple mini interviews, and it expects all A101 interviews to take place on campus. No offer is made without an interview.

4. 4

   Stage 4: offer

   Offers usually follow a competitive interview score: interview scores are ranked and the top-scoring applicants receive offers. Contextual information may be used in borderline decisions.

Liverpool has not published a station count or interview dates for this cycle. Its supplement lists late January to mid-February as the estimated window for inviting the most competitive applicants, gives these dates without a year, and says some of them are estimates. The attributes it values, and which the interview assesses, are healthcare career awareness and insight, caring for the community, clear verbal and written communication, and the values that underpin good healthcare practice. Interviewees sign a confidentiality clause.

• A101 considers home students only, and there are no places for international applicants. Liverpool notes that in most cases EU students are considered international, and that applicants in the UK on a visa of any type are assessed as international.
• Deferred entry is not considered. An offer holder who cannot start must reapply in a later cycle.
• Graduates can use two UCAS choices to apply to both A101 and the five-year A100 course. Graduates cannot apply to the Foundation to Medicine Professions route (789S).
• You must be 18 by 1 October in the year of entry.
• Applicants whose first language is not English, or who have lived in the UK for less than five years, need at least grade B in GCSE English Language or equivalent and, if made an offer, IELTS 7.0 with 7.0 in every component.
• Meeting the GAMSAT minimum counts as meeting Liverpool's English Language and Maths requirement for A101, so there is no separate GCSE grade to hit.
• Unsuccessful applicants may make at least one further consecutive application. Anyone planning a third should contact the admissions team first.
• From 2027 entry, year one students pay for a UK DBS check and the DBS update service (about £66 and £16 a year as of 2025/26).

The home fee is £10,050 per year for 2027/28. Liverpool's supplement points graduates to the NHS Bursary and Student Loans Company guidance on funding an accelerated course. If you are new to the test, our GAMSAT guide explains the three sections and how the overall score is built.
