UCAT Cut Off Scores 2026 for 2027 Entry: Every UK Medical and Dental School

Q: What is a UCAT cut-off score?

A UCAT cut-off score is the minimum total UCAT score a university applies when deciding which applicants to invite to interview. If your score falls below it, your application is rejected at that stage regardless of your grades, personal statement or reference. Most cut-offs are not published in advance. Universities set them post-hoc after the UCAT window closes in September, based on the full applicant pool for that cycle. This means the threshold shifts every year depending on how many people applied and how well they scored. A handful of universities do publish a minimum in advance: Edinburgh publishes theirs each year (1850 for 2027 entry), and Keele applies a published minimum of 1700 for UK applicants. Most others do not. Because cut-offs vary annually, historic data is the most reliable guide. Use the trends in each university entry on this page, not a single year's figure, when making your shortlist decisions.

Q: Do all medical schools use a UCAT cut-off score?

No. Universities use UCAT in three different ways. Some apply a hard cut-off: a fixed minimum below which all applicants are rejected. Others use a ranking model: they invite the top-scoring applicants regardless of a set minimum, meaning the implicit threshold changes every year. A third group uses a composite score: UCAT is combined with GCSEs and sometimes contextual factors, so a strong academic record can compensate for a lower UCAT score. The university entries on this page show how each school describes its own use of the UCAT, alongside the historic score data it publishes. Understanding the model is as important as knowing the cut-off number, because it changes how you should approach your shortlist.

Q: Why do UCAT cut-off scores change every year?

Because most cut-offs are set relative to the applicant pool, not to a fixed absolute standard. If a university decides to interview 600 applicants and invites the top-scoring candidates, the cut-off is whatever score the 600th-ranked applicant achieved that year. If the overall cohort scores higher, the cut-off rises. If fewer people apply or scores are lower nationally, the cut-off falls. External factors such as changes to the UCAT format (such as the removal of Abstract Reasoning in 2025), the difficulty of that year's test, and changes in application volumes all affect where cut-offs land. This is why a multi-year trend is far more useful than a single year's figure when planning your application.

Q: When are UCAT cut-off scores released and when do I get my results?

You receive your UCAT score immediately on screen when you finish the test. The UCAT Consortium publishes an interim national cohort report in mid-September and final decile data in late September or early October. Crucially, all of this happens before the UCAS deadline in mid-October, so you know exactly where your score sits nationally before you submit your university choices. University-specific cut-offs for a given cycle are generally only confirmed after that cycle closes. They appear through transparency data, student forums and university disclosure requests. The figures in each university entry on this page reflect what each university has published, updated in our database as new information is confirmed.

Q: What UCAT score do I need for medicine in 2027?

There is no single answer because every medical school sets its own threshold. As a general guide for 2027 entry: 2100 or above is sufficient for most UK medical schools; 2220 or above is top decile nationally and competitive everywhere; 2300 or above is competitive at the most selective schools including Bristol, Manchester, King's, Sheffield and Glasgow. The national average in 2025 was 1891 out of 2700. Scoring above the average is not enough for most competitive schools. For widening participation applicants the thresholds are often lower, and composite-scoring universities such as Birmingham and Newcastle allow strong GCSEs to offset a lower UCAT score.

Q: What UCAT score do I need for dentistry in 2027?

UCAT score requirements for dentistry follow similar patterns to medicine, though individual thresholds differ by school. The most competitive dental schools by UCAT score are Bristol, Glasgow, King's College London, Manchester and Newcastle, all of which have historically required scores above 2600 on the old 3600 scale (roughly 1950 to 2100+ on the current 2700 scale) for standard applicants. More accessible dental schools by UCAT threshold include Liverpool (holistic, no hard cut-off), Cardiff (GCSEs weighted heavily), Dundee and Queen's Belfast. Aberdeen and Dundee use a 60/40 academic/UCAT composite for non-graduates. Every dental school's entry is in the dentistry section of this page.

Q: Is 2100 a good UCAT score?

Yes. 2100 is around 200 points above the 2025 national average of 1891, and a score of 2100 or above meets the threshold at most UK medical and dental schools. It is not top decile (2220+) and sits below the level that is competitive at the most selective UCAT-heavy schools such as Bristol, Glasgow and Manchester (2300+), so pair one or two ambitious choices with schools where 2100 clears historic thresholds comfortably. The same logic applies to nearby scores: 2000 is above average but benefits from composite-scoring schools where GCSEs carry weight, while 2200 approaches the top decile and opens most of the table.

Q: Where should I apply with an average UCAT score?

With a score around the 2025 national average of 1891, focus on universities that do not rank primarily on UCAT: composite-scoring schools where strong GCSEs offset the UCAT (Birmingham, Newcastle, Nottingham, Hull York, Queen's Belfast), schools with historically lower thresholds (Keele, Sunderland, Liverpool, Plymouth, UEA Norwich, Kent and Medway), and Cardiff, which filters primarily on GCSEs. Avoid schools that shortlist mostly or entirely on UCAT ranking, such as Bristol and Glasgow, where an average score is unlikely to reach the interview threshold. If you qualify for widening participation, check each university's uplift policy, as several assess WP applicants in a separate pool.

Q: What is the average UCAT score in 2025 and 2026?

The national average total UCAT score in 2025 (the first year with the new three-section format out of 2700) was 1891. This is equivalent to the fifth decile, meaning half of all test-takers scored above this and half scored below. The top decile (scoring higher than 90% of test-takers) began at approximately 2220 in 2025. The 2026 cohort data will be published by the UCAT Consortium in September or October 2026. Historically the average shifts only slightly from year to year, so 2025 figures are a reliable planning guide for 2027 entry.

Q: How is the UCAT scored in 2025 and 2026?

From 2025, the UCAT consists of three cognitive subtests: Verbal Reasoning, Decision Making and Quantitative Reasoning. Each is scored on a scale of 300 to 900. The total cognitive score therefore runs from 900 to 2700. Abstract Reasoning was removed from the test in 2025, which is why the maximum dropped from 3600 to 2700. The Situational Judgement Test (SJT) is sat as a fourth component but scored separately in Bands 1 to 4 (Band 1 being highest) and is not included in the 2700 total. Universities treat the SJT in different ways: some use it as a filter, some add points for Band 1, and some disregard it entirely.

Quick answer: what UCAT score do I need?

For 2027 entry, the UCAT score needed varies by university: a score of 2100 or above meets the threshold at most UK medical and dental schools; 2220+ places you in the top decile nationally; and 2300+ is competitive at high-demand universities including Bristol, Manchester, King's and Sheffield. There is no single universal UCAT cut-off score: most universities set their interview threshold post-hoc, after the application window closes, based on that year's full applicant pool.

Why UCAT cut-off scores matter for your UCAS choices

Thousands of strong applicants are rejected every cycle not because of poor grades or a weak personal statement, but because their UCAT score falls below the interview threshold at the universities they chose. With only four UCAS choices available to medicine and dentistry applicants, a strategic application, choosing universities based on where your UCAT score is genuinely competitive, is one of the most important decisions you will make.

A score of 2150 may meet the UCAT requirements at Cardiff, Keele or Sunderland, but sit well below the typical shortlisting threshold at Bristol, UCL or Glasgow. The data below covers every UK medical and dental school, exactly as published in each university's admissions profile, so you can see how each school actually uses the test rather than relying on a single headline number.

When are UCAT cut-off scores confirmed, and how to use your score strategically

You will receive your UCAT score immediately after sitting the test, which runs from July to September each year. The UCAT Consortium publishes an interim cohort report in mid-September and final national decile data in late September or early October, crucially before the UCAS deadline in mid-October. This means you know exactly where your score sits nationally before you submit your four university choices, and you can build your shortlist around real data rather than guesswork.

University cut-off scores themselves are set post-hoc after the application window closes, which means you cannot know the exact threshold in advance. What you can do is use the historic data on this page alongside your national decile position to judge how competitive your score is likely to be at each school. Some universities also apply cut-offs to individual subtests rather than the total score alone: Warwick, for example, requires a minimum Verbal Reasoning score regardless of overall total. For expert guidance on which schools match your specific score profile, our UCAT tutoring team and Ultimate Package include full university shortlisting support alongside 1-1 coaching.

How medical schools use UCAT scores: three approaches

Not every university applies UCAT the same way. There are three main models, and understanding which applies to each school is essential when building your shortlist.

Model 1

Hard cut-off (minimum UCAT threshold)

A minimum UCAT score is applied and anyone below it is automatically rejected regardless of academic grades. Most universities determine this threshold post-hoc after seeing the full applicant cohort, so it is rarely published in advance.

Examples: Edinburgh, Sheffield, Manchester, Imperial

Model 2

UCAT ranking (highest scorers invited to interview)

All eligible applicants are ranked by total UCAT score. A set number of top scorers receive interview invitations. There is no fixed minimum, but competition creates an implicit UCAT interview threshold each year.

Examples: Bristol (100% UCAT weighting for shortlisting), Glasgow, Southampton, St Andrews

Model 3

Holistic composite score (UCAT plus GCSEs)

UCAT is combined with GCSE grades and sometimes contextual factors into a total application score. Strong GCSE performance can compensate for a lower UCAT score, and vice versa.

Examples: Birmingham (45% GCSEs, 40% UCAT, 15% contextual), Newcastle, Nottingham, Hull York

What UCAT score do I need for medicine in 2027?

The national average UCAT score in 2025 was 1891 out of 2700. For 2027 entry, a score of 2100+ is sufficient for most medical schools; 2220+ places you in the top decile nationally; and 2300+ is competitive at the majority of UK universities. Some high-demand schools such as Bristol, Glasgow and Manchester typically require scores above 2300 even for borderline applicants.

The UCAT is scored out of 2700 since Abstract Reasoning was removed in 2025. Each of the three cognitive subtests (Verbal Reasoning, Decision Making and Quantitative Reasoning) is scored 300 to 900. The Situational Judgement Test (SJT) is scored separately in Bands 1 to 4 and is not included in the 2700 total. Universities apply the SJT differently: some use it as a secondary filter, others as a tiebreaker, and some ignore it entirely for shortlisting. See our UCAT scores and deciles guide for the complete national percentile breakdown.

Does SJT Band 4 affect your application?

Yes, significantly. Many universities including Manchester, Edinburgh, Anglia Ruskin, Edge Hill, Barts and Aberdeen automatically reject applicants who score SJT Band 4, regardless of their cognitive UCAT score. Band 3 is accepted at most universities but reduces competitiveness at schools such as Manchester and Lincoln. Band 1 and Band 2 are widely accepted, and Band 1 can add meaningful points at universities that score the SJT directly. See our SJT bands by university guide for a complete breakdown.

How to read historic UCAT cut-off data on this page

The UCAT scoring scale changed in 2025. Before 2025, the UCAT had four cognitive subtests and a maximum score of 3600. From 2025, Abstract Reasoning was removed and the maximum is now 2700. A historic cut-off of 2760 out of 3600 does not translate to 2760 out of 2700: these are entirely different scales.

Each university's entry below states its figures exactly as published. Use the UCAT score converter to translate any historic 3600-scale figure to the current 2700 scale so you can compare your score fairly against past thresholds.

Low UCAT medical schools and widening participation

Several UK medical schools are accessible with a lower UCAT score, particularly for widening participation (WP) and contextual applicants. Universities including Keele, Sunderland, Liverpool, Cardiff and Plymouth have historically set lower UCAT thresholds or use holistic scoring where strong GCSEs or WP status can offset a modest UCAT score.

Contextual applicants may also benefit from UCAT score uplifts or separate ranking pools at universities such as Anglia Ruskin, Birmingham, Bristol, Leeds and Newcastle. Check each university's widening participation policy directly. If your score is lower than you hoped, 1-1 UCAT tutoring and a well-crafted medicine personal statement can still make a strong application at the right universities.

Where to apply with your UCAT score: strategic applications for 2027 entry

Whether 1900, 2000, 2100 or 2300+ is a good UCAT score depends entirely on where you apply, which is why a strategic application matters as much as the score itself. Use your score band below to focus your four UCAS choices where your application is strongest, then check each university's own entry in the table above.

Below average (under 1891)

The 2025 national average was 1891, so this band is below average, but options remain. Keele applies a published minimum of 1700 (UK) and weights the personal statement heavily; Sunderland requires the top eight deciles (roughly 1800+); Cardiff filters primarily on GCSEs; Liverpool, Plymouth, UEA Norwich and Kent and Medway have historically lower thresholds. Widening participation uplifts can open more doors. See the low UCAT medical schools section.

Average to 2100 (1891 to 2100)

Around and above the national average. Strong GCSEs can carry you at composite-scoring schools where UCAT is only part of the total: Birmingham (45% GCSEs, 40% UCAT, 15% contextual), Newcastle (40 points GCSEs, 60 UCAT), Nottingham, Hull York and Queen's Belfast. The lower-threshold schools above also give you headroom rather than a borderline application.

Strong (2100 to 2300)

A score of 2100+ meets the threshold at most UK medical and dental schools, and 2220+ puts you in the top decile nationally. Most of the comparison table is open to you; balance one or two competitive choices against schools where your score sits comfortably above historic thresholds.

Competitive everywhere (2300+)

Competitive at the most selective schools: Oxford, Cambridge, Imperial and UCL, plus the UCAT-heavy rankers Bristol (100% UCAT shortlisting), Glasgow, Manchester, Sheffield, Edinburgh and St Andrews, and King's College London, where UCAT carries 100 of 170 shortlisting points. A high score is leverage: use it at schools that rank primarily on UCAT rather than ones that dilute it.

Guidance based on the historic patterns above; thresholds move every cycle, so always confirm against each university's entry and official pages. Unsure where you sit nationally? See the UCAT scores and deciles guide.

Birmingham Medical School Selection Process 2023

We will apply the following selection process to all standard applicants:

Applications will receive an overall score, which is the sum of weighted scores for each of three components: academic, UCAT and contextual
The inclusion of a contextual element to the score replaces our previous method of assigning 20% of interview places to contextual applicants
The weighting will be: 45% academic, 40% UCAT and 15% contextual.
We will not score your personal statement, but you must offer evidence of commitment to medicine (see 'Preparing to Apply')

Scoring an application

An application score is generated from GCSE and UCAT results as well as a contextual element as follows:

GCSE

Each application will receive a score for academic achievement based on results in seven GCSE (or equivalent) subjects. The subjects that will be scored are: English (both English Language and English Literature), Mathematics (or one, but not both, of Methods in Mathematics and Applications of Mathematics), Biology and Chemistry (or dual award science), plus two additional GCSEs in any subject. We will not exempt anyone from requiring a score for all identified subjects.

For the subjects specified above a minimum of grade B/6 must be offered and the scores allocated to the different grades are as follows:

8 or 9/A* = 4
7/A = 2
6/B = 1

For each of the two unspecified subjects, a score of 2 will be allocated when an 8 or 9/A*grade has been obtained. Lower grades will not receive a score.

The total GCSE score will be scaled to a maximum of 4.5.

Because we rank applicants according to a total score, we cannot define a GCSE grade profile that will be acceptable.

UCAT

There is no minimum UCAT cut-off score. Your total UCAT score from the four subtests (i.e. excluding the band result for the Situational Judgment Test, SJT), will be ranked among those for all applicants. The scores will be segregated into deciles and we will allocate our own score to each decile. For example, the top 10% of applicants’ scores will be in the top decile and will receive a maximum score of 4.0 in our process [this changes every year depending on the deciles].

The band score for the Situational Judgment Test (SJT) component of UCAT will be used at the interview stage.

Contextual Requirements

Applicants must have attended a contextual school or have been in receipt of free school meals (FSM) during their secondary education to receive a score for this element.

Consideration of contextual information is not new but from 2020/21 we have incorporated the contextual element into the algorithm used to score all applicants, instead of setting aside interview places for contextual applicants. We also incorporate POLAR4 data into our process.

We describe elsewhere the mechanism we use for identifying a contextual school and an explanation of POLAR4 (see ‘Entry Requirements MBChB (5 year)).

Contextual School

If you studied at a school that meets our contextual criteria for GCSEs and/or A Levels, you will receive a score for the contextual element. Applicants from state (non-independent) schools in Wales will receive a contextual score. Please contact your school provider or search for your school on gov.uk for more information.

POLAR4

You can retrieve your POLAR4 quintile from the Office for Students website: OFS Postcode Lookup.

Interview

Selection for interview is determined by ranking applicants according to the total application score (combination of GCSE, UCAT and contextual scores, with a maximum of 10). We expect to interview over 1,100 standard applicants.

If this ranking does not allow us to identify an exact cut-off, we will rank applicants with the same score according to their UCAT results (focusing primarily on the score for Verbal Reasoning).

Med School Info Convert Your UCAT Score /3600

How Does Buckingham Medical School Look At The UCAT?

The UCAT is not used at Buckingham Medical School.

Buckingham Medical School Selection Criteria

Stage One: Academic Selection

This first stage involves judgements on the basis of the written application primarily related to academic achievement as an indicator of intellectual suitability for a medical course and the practice of medicine. Applicants may offer a variety of qualifications, but the overriding principle is that achievement should be at the highest level, and comparable to entrants to other medical schools in the United Kingdom. It is not intended that ability to pay the fees for the course should compensate for academic achievement that is less than usual for entry to a medical course in the UK.

Stage Two: Multiple Mini Examinations

The second stage of selection applies only to those who meet the academic threshold, and is intended to judge personal attributes relating to suitability for practice as a doctor. It is a computer-based test, made up of a series of tasks intended to test students’ analysis, interpretation and judgement abilities related to 'Good Medical Practice', published by the UK General Medical Council.

Students who are satisfactory at this point will be offered to proceed to the third and final stage of the MMI application process. Exceptionally high-performing students may receive an offer at this stage in the process.

Stage Three: Objective Structured Selection Examinations

The Third stage of selection is intended to judge personal attributes relating to suitability for practice as a doctor. It consists of an Objective, Structured Selection Examination (OSSE), made up of a series of tasks intended to test abilities related to 'Good Medical Practice', published by the UK General Medical Council

Dundee Medical School Selection Process

With regard to the selection process the University combines an Academic Score (based on certified and predicted grades and contextual factors) and UCAT score. These scores were weighted 60:40 Academic: UCAT for non-graduates and 40:60 Academic: UCAT for graduates.

We use the UCAT score by categorising the applicants in deciles of UCAT performance. GCSE results and predicted grades are scored and together makeup 60% of the initial assessment stage for school leavers. UCAT accounts for the other 40%.

UCAT Situational Judgement (SJT) Bands are not considered part of the assessment process (2025 Entry)

🚩 SJT Band 4 = rejection.

How Edinburgh Score The Application:

The academic portion of each application to our Medicine programme is scored independently by two members of the Admissions Team. The academic scores outlined in the table below are doubled, to provide an academic score out of a total of 20 points. The academic portion of each application constitutes 25% of the overall application score.

Once the academic part of an application is scored, we await confirmation of each applicant's UCAT total score and Situational Judgement Test banding directly from UCAT. These are weighted separately, with the UCAT total score awarding 17.5% of the total application score and the SJT banding awarding 7.5%. Applicants who are awarded Band 4 in the SJT or whose UCAT total score falls below our cut-off score for that cycle are removed from the selection process (with the exception of Plus Flag applicants, who are exempt from the UCAT total score cut-off).

The total of these three components (50% of the overall application score) is used to shortlist for invitations to our Assessment Day (per fee category). The Assessment Day (Interview) score provides the final 50% of the overall application score. This final overall score is then used to shortlist for offers (also per fee category).

Keele Medicine Selection Process [2026 Entry]

Shortlisting for interview is based on a combination of UCAT scores and the UCAS personal statement.

The UCAT grade and personal statement grade will be calculated as shown below and combined to give a total out of 25. This total mark will be used to rank A100 applicants for interviews.

This is made up of:

UCAT Score: 5 points
SJT Score: 2 points

Personal Statement: 15 points

Total = 25 points

UCAT Verbal Reasoning Score will be used in the case of a tie breaker.

UCAT Quintile (20%) [Total = 5 points]

A quintile is 20% of the cohort.

1st (Top 20%) = 5 points

School in Keele region = 1 point

Keele Threshold Scores Needed For Interview (Ie Cut Off Score)

2024 Entry: 15/25 points (unconfirmed)

Keele Personal Statement Grade Calculation

UCAS personal statements will be assessed against the person specification for a Keele medical student (see below) to give a score on a scale of 0 to 15.

Your personal statement must provide examples of ways in which you have demonstrated the characteristics listed in the person specification.

Please see the guidance notes accompanying the person specification to help you with writing your personal statement. If you are applying directly from school/college, please make sure your head of sixth form, UCAS adviser and any other relevant member of staff is aware of the need to address these requirements.

Guidance notes on writing the personal statement for Keele

The essential characteristics are:

Understanding of the roles of a doctor within the healthcare team, community and society, gained through your personal research and experiences
Awareness of the range of knowledge, skills and behaviours a medical student must acquire and why these are relevant to you
Evidence of a skill acquired through your school/college/university studies (as appropriate) that will be important for becoming a doctor
Ability to engage and communicate with people from a variety of backgrounds, and to help or support them
Ability to balance responsibilities and time commitments over a prolonged period

While we do not require particular criteria to be addressed within specific sections of the personal statement, we would anticipate criteria a and b are likely to be covered under question 1, criterion c under question 2 and criteria d and e under question 3. Criteria d and e will be given the greatest weighting. No credit will be given for content that does not address any of the criteria.

2023 Entry: 3433 Applications, 1115 Interviews

✅ King's College Medicine Selection Process

For ranking in previous cycles, applications which met the entry requirements were ranked according to their UCAT score (average score and SJT band) compared to other applicants with improvement given for GCSE results (number of A*s) and School performance as well as an improvement on ranking if considered a Widening Participation applicant.

Interview selection was scored out of 170 - UCAT 100 + SJT 10 + GCSE 40 + WP 20

✅ UCAT Score

UCAT percentile rank (compared to King's applications) multiplied by 100.

✅ SJT Scoring

Points added according to the SJT Band:

SJT Band 1 = 10 points
SJT Band 2 = 5 points
SJT Band 3/4 = 0 points

✅ GCSE

For GCSEs, points were awarded according to the number of A*s achieved at GCSE (subject is not considered). Less than 5 scored 0, 5 scored 10, 6 scored 20, 7 scored 30, 8+ scored 40. Scores were adjusted according to the GCSE attainment quintile of the school.

School in bottom two quintiles, then A = A*
School in the third quintile, then A = 0.5A*
School in top two quintiles, then A=A

✅ A-levels

Predicted or achieved A Level grades or equivalent have been used to assess whether applicants would meet or exceed the minimum entrance requirements for the course. Thereafter such grades have not been factored into the ranking process which takes place afterward and has determined who is and is not invited to interview for the course.

Post-interviews, interview score has been the main factor used to decide who offers have been made to.

Sunderland Interview Selection Tool (Roles & Responsibilities Form) - unclear if this is changing for 2024 Entry

The interview selection tool is a survey used as part of the shortlisting process for selection for an interview. Here are some helpful tips for completing the survey:

This survey is used as part of the shortlisting process for selection for interview
This is a survey about your work experience over the past 2 years only (if your work experience is still ongoing and commenced more than 2 years ago that can be included)
We class ‘work experience’ as hands-on work in a public-facing role. This can be either voluntary or paid. In addition to the above, significant caring responsibilities for the family will also be included as work experience: this will typically be caring for an unwell or disabled family member.
We do not include school- or college-organised programs as work experience, unless you have helped to develop these yourself
Shadowing staff in clinical environments should not be included in this survey but is useful in preparing you for an interview
You can list up to 4 work experiences, however, please note it is not the number of work experiences we look at but the total commitment you have shown with your experience(s)
For any sections, you are not completing please leave blank
You must supply contact details for your most significant work experience provider (employer/provider) or give the contact information of a teacher who knows your family situation.
Only complete one form. If you do submit two forms, we will only look at the first one that was submitted

How UEA uses the UCAT for Dentistry

Dental School Info Convert Your UCAT Score /3600

All applicants must sit the UCAT in the year of application, before they apply. UEA does not set a UCAT cut-off score: a high score is an advantage, but a low score does not automatically rule you out.

UEA uses your overall UCAT score to rank applicants for selection to interview. After interview, your overall UCAT score is used alongside your interview score to rank applicants and decide who receives an offer, with the two weighted equally.

The Situational Judgement Test (SJT) is not scored separately: your SJT result is included within your interview score.

Frequently asked questions about UCAT cut-off scores

Every question students and parents ask about UCAT cut-off scores, interview thresholds, SJT bands, widening participation, and how to use this data strategically for 2027 entry.

Understanding UCAT cut-off scores

What is a UCAT cut-off score?

A UCAT cut-off score is the minimum total UCAT score a university applies when deciding which applicants to invite to interview. If your score falls below it, your application is rejected at that stage regardless of your grades, personal statement or reference.

Most cut-offs are not published in advance. Universities set them post-hoc after the UCAT window closes in September, based on the full applicant pool for that cycle. This means the threshold shifts every year depending on how many people applied and how well they scored. A handful of universities do publish a minimum in advance: Edinburgh publishes theirs each year (1850 for 2027 entry), and Keele applies a published minimum of 1700 for UK applicants. Most others do not.

Because cut-offs vary annually, historic data is the most reliable guide. Use the trends in each university entry on this page, not a single year's figure, when making your shortlist decisions.

Do all medical schools use a UCAT cut-off score?

No. Universities use UCAT in three different ways. Some apply a hard cut-off: a fixed minimum below which all applicants are rejected. Others use a ranking model: they invite the top-scoring applicants regardless of a set minimum, meaning the implicit threshold changes every year. A third group uses a composite score: UCAT is combined with GCSEs and sometimes contextual factors, so a strong academic record can compensate for a lower UCAT score.

The university entries on this page show how each school describes its own use of the UCAT, alongside the historic score data it publishes. Understanding the model is as important as knowing the cut-off number, because it changes how you should approach your shortlist.

Why do UCAT cut-off scores change every year?

Because most cut-offs are set relative to the applicant pool, not to a fixed absolute standard. If a university decides to interview 600 applicants and invites the top-scoring candidates, the cut-off is whatever score the 600th-ranked applicant achieved that year. If the overall cohort scores higher, the cut-off rises. If fewer people apply or scores are lower nationally, the cut-off falls.

External factors such as changes to the UCAT format (such as the removal of Abstract Reasoning in 2025), the difficulty of that year's test, and changes in application volumes all affect where cut-offs land. This is why a multi-year trend is far more useful than a single year's figure when planning your application.

When are UCAT cut-off scores released and when do I get my results?

You receive your UCAT score immediately on screen when you finish the test. The UCAT Consortium publishes an interim national cohort report in mid-September and final decile data in late September or early October. Crucially, all of this happens before the UCAS deadline in mid-October, so you know exactly where your score sits nationally before you submit your university choices.

University-specific cut-offs for a given cycle are generally only confirmed after that cycle closes. They appear through transparency data, student forums and university disclosure requests. The figures in each university entry on this page reflect what each university has published, updated in our database as new information is confirmed.

UCAT score requirements for 2027 entry

What UCAT score do I need for medicine in 2027?

There is no single answer because every medical school sets its own threshold. As a general guide for 2027 entry: 2100 or above is sufficient for most UK medical schools; 2220 or above is top decile nationally and competitive everywhere; 2300 or aboveis competitive at the most selective schools including Bristol, Manchester, King's, Sheffield and Glasgow.

The national average in 2025 was 1891 out of 2700. Scoring above the average is not enough for most competitive schools. For widening participation applicants the thresholds are often lower, and composite-scoring universities such as Birmingham and Newcastle allow strong GCSEs to offset a lower UCAT score. Use the UCAT deciles guide to see exactly where your score sits nationally.

What UCAT score do I need for dentistry in 2027?

UCAT score requirements for dentistry follow similar patterns to medicine, though individual thresholds differ by school. The most competitive dental schools by UCAT score are Bristol, Glasgow, King's College London, Manchester and Newcastle, all of which have historically required scores above 2600 on the old 3600 scale (roughly 1950 to 2100+ on the current 2700 scale) for standard applicants.

More accessible dental schools by UCAT threshold include Liverpool (holistic, no hard cut-off), Cardiff (GCSEs weighted heavily), Dundee and Queen's Belfast. Aberdeen and Dundee use a 60/40 academic/UCAT composite for non-graduates. Every dental school's entry is in the dentistry section of this page.

Is 2100 a good UCAT score?

Yes. 2100 is around 200 points above the 2025 national average of 1891, and a score of 2100 or above meets the threshold at most UK medical and dental schools. It is not top decile (2220+) and sits below the level that is competitive at the most selective UCAT-heavy schools such as Bristol, Glasgow and Manchester (2300+), so pair one or two ambitious choices with schools where 2100 clears historic thresholds comfortably.

The same logic applies to nearby scores: 2000 is above average but benefits from composite-scoring schools where GCSEs carry weight, while 2200 approaches the top decile and opens most of the table. See where to apply with your UCAT score for the full band-by-band picture.

Where should I apply with an average UCAT score?

With a score around the 2025 national average of 1891, focus on universities that do not rank primarily on UCAT: composite-scoring schools where strong GCSEs offset the UCAT (Birmingham, Newcastle, Nottingham, Hull York, Queen's Belfast), schools with historically lower thresholds (Keele, Sunderland, Liverpool, Plymouth, UEA Norwich, Kent and Medway), and Cardiff, which filters primarily on GCSEs.

Avoid schools that shortlist mostly or entirely on UCAT ranking, such as Bristol and Glasgow, where an average score is unlikely to reach the interview threshold. If you qualify for widening participation, check each university's uplift policy, as several assess WP applicants in a separate pool. Our UCAT tutoring team can also help you build the shortlist around your exact score profile.

What is the average UCAT score in 2025 and 2026?

The national average total UCAT score in 2025 (the first year with the new three-section format out of 2700) was 1891. This is equivalent to the fifth decile, meaning half of all test-takers scored above this and half scored below.

The top decile (scoring higher than 90% of test-takers) began at approximately 2220 in 2025. The 2026 cohort data will be published by the UCAT Consortium in September or October 2026. Historically the average shifts only slightly from year to year, so 2025 figures are a reliable planning guide for 2027 entry. Use the UCAT score calculator to convert your raw subtest scores to a total and see your estimated decile.

How is the UCAT scored in 2025 and 2026?

From 2025, the UCAT consists of three cognitive subtests: Verbal Reasoning, Decision Making and Quantitative Reasoning. Each is scored on a scale of 300 to 900. The total cognitive score therefore runs from 900 to 2700. Abstract Reasoning was removed from the test in 2025, which is why the maximum dropped from 3600 to 2700.

The Situational Judgement Test (SJT) is sat as a fourth component but scored separately in Bands 1 to 4 (Band 1 being highest) and is not included in the 2700 total. Universities treat the SJT in different ways: some use it as a filter, some add points for Band 1, and some disregard it entirely. For a full breakdown see our SJT bands guide.

How do I convert my UCAT score between the old 3600 scale and the new 2700 scale?

You cannot directly divide or multiply between scales because the two formats had different numbers of subtests and different national distributions. A score of 2760 out of 3600 is not the same as 2760 out of 2700. The only reliable way to compare is to use percentile matching based on official UCAT Consortium decile data.

Use the UCAT score converter on this page to translate any historic 3600-scale cut-off to the current 2700 scale, or vice versa. Enter your 2025 or 2026 score to see its equivalent on the old scale, your national percentile and your decile rank.

Situational Judgement Test and SJT bands

Does SJT Band 4 lead to automatic rejection?

At many universities, yes. Medical schools including Manchester, Edinburgh, Anglia Ruskin, Edge Hill, Aberdeen, Barts and The London, Hull York, Keele, Kent and Medway, Leicester, Lincoln, Liverpool, Newcastle, Nottingham and Sunderland automatically reject applicants with SJT Band 4 regardless of their cognitive UCAT score.

At other universities Band 4 reduces your competitiveness without triggering automatic rejection. Band 3 is accepted at most universities but actively disadvantages you at schools such as Manchester, Lincoln and King's College London which award extra points for Band 1. See our full SJT bands by university guide for the complete picture.

Which medical schools do not use the SJT in their selection process?

Several universities disregard the SJT entirely when shortlisting for interview. These include Glasgow (does not use SJT for medicine A100), Bristol (SJT not used for shortlisting), Southampton, Cardiff (stated they do not look at the SJT for some entry cycles), Dundee (SJT not considered for medicine selection), Plymouth and Cambridge. Some universities only introduce the SJT as a tiebreaker at the post-interview offer stage.

This changes year to year as universities update their admissions policies. Always check the individual entry on this page for the most recent confirmed information, and verify with each university's official admissions page before applying.

How much does the SJT affect my overall chances?

The SJT's importance varies considerably by university. At schools that ignore it entirely for shortlisting, it has no effect on your interview invitation. At universities such as Hull York (15 points out of 100 available), Nottingham (10 points out of 82), Lincoln (15 points out of 60) and Queen's Belfast (9 points for UCAT total including SJT), it directly affects your shortlisting score and can be the difference between an invitation and a rejection for borderline applicants.

At the post-interview stage, some universities use the SJT as a tiebreaker when offer decisions are close. Sheffield adds the SJT as a virtual ninth interview station worth up to 5 points. For these reasons it is worth preparing for the SJT even if your target schools do not weight it heavily at shortlisting. Our complete SJT guide covers the strategies that consistently produce Band 1 results.

What to do with your UCAT score

What happens if my UCAT score is below a university's cut-off?

Your application at that university will not progress past the initial screening stage. You will not be invited to interview and your personal statement, GCSEs and reference will not be read. This is why knowing cut-off trends before you select your four UCAS choices is so important.

If your score is below your initial target schools, your options are: adjust your shortlist to universities where your score is above the historic lowest threshold; focus on schools that use holistic composite scoring, where strong GCSEs can compensate; check whether you qualify for widening participation score uplifts; or consider a gap year to resit the UCAT the following year with a full preparation programme. If you want personalised shortlist advice, our UCAT tutoring team and Ultimate Package include one-to-one university shortlisting support.

Which medical schools have the lowest UCAT cut-off scores?

The medical schools historically most accessible with a lower UCAT score are: Keele, which applies a minimum of 1700 (UK) but weights the personal statement heavily at 15 out of 25 points; Sunderland, which requires UCAT in the top eight deciles (roughly 1800+) and also considers a work experience form; Liverpool, which uses a ranking model but has historically invited applicants with scores from around 2300 on the 3600 scale (approximately 1720 to 1810 on the 2700 scale); Cardiff, which uses GCSEs as the primary filter and only applies a UCAT cut-off when oversubscribed; and Plymouth, UEA Norwich and Kent and Medway, which have historically lower UCAT thresholds than the national average.

Each of these schools' entries on this page carries its own historic data. For dentistry, Liverpool, Cardiff and Dundee are typically most accessible by UCAT score.

Which medical schools have the highest UCAT cut-off scores?

The universities that consistently require the highest UCAT scores from standard applicants are: Bristol, which weights shortlisting 100% on UCAT, producing historically high thresholds of 2870 to 2940 on the old 3600 scale; UCL, whose published cut-off has historically sat at 2800 on the 3600 scale for home applicants; Glasgow, Manchester and Sheffield, which consistently require 2700 to 2860 on the old scale for non-widening participation applicants; Edinburgh and St Andrews, which have high average interviewed scores; and King's College London, whose composite scoring gives UCAT 100 out of 170 points, making it effectively UCAT-dominant.

Use the converter on this page to translate these historic figures to the current 2700 scale for direct comparison with your 2026 score.

Can I still get into medical school with a below-average UCAT score?

Yes, with the right shortlist. A below-average score (below 1891 out of 2700) significantly limits your options but does not close them completely. Schools such as Keele, Sunderland, Cardiff, Liverpool and Plymouth have historically invited applicants with below-average UCAT scores, particularly widening participation applicants or those with exceptional GCSEs.

What matters most is the combination of your UCAT score, your GCSE profile, any widening participation flags, and your choice of schools. Applying to four universities where your score sits well above their historic lowest invited score gives you a much stronger application than spreading your choices across schools where you are borderline. A strong medicine personal statement and solid interview preparation remain important at these schools even when UCAT requirements are lower.

Can I resit the UCAT if I am unhappy with my score?

You can sit the UCAT once per testing year. The testing window opens in July each year and closes in late September. If you wish to improve your score, you must wait until the following year's window, which typically means taking a gap year from your UCAS application.

Most universities accept resit UCAT scores without penalising applicants for reapplying. If you are considering a resit, a targeted preparation programme is strongly recommended rather than simply attempting the test again from the same baseline. Our 1-1 UCAT tutoring is specifically structured for retake students, who often show the largest score gains because they already understand the test format and can focus entirely on technique.

Widening participation and contextual UCAT scores

What is widening participation and how does it affect UCAT cut-offs?

Widening participation (WP) refers to initiatives that support applicants from backgrounds that are underrepresented in medicine and dentistry, including those from low-income households, state schools in low higher-education participation areas, and those who were eligible for free school meals. Many universities apply a lower UCAT threshold or a score uplift for WP applicants.

Examples include Edinburgh (PLUS FLAG applicants are considered with any UCAT score and receive a 10% uplift), Birmingham (contextual applicants receive separate GCSE and UCAT scoring pools), Anglia Ruskin (5% UCAT uplift for East of England residents), Newcastle (dedicated Partners Programme with a lower cut-off) and Bristol (contextual applicants are considered within a separate group with lower historic thresholds). The UCAT Bursary Scheme also exists for UK candidates from low-income backgrounds to cover the test fee. Check your eligibility on the official UCAT website.

Do my GCSEs affect whether the UCAT cut-off applies to me?

At composite-scoring universities, yes. Schools such as Birmingham, Newcastle, Nottingham, Hull York and Queen's Belfast combine GCSE scores and UCAT scores into a single total. At these universities, exceptionally strong GCSEs can allow you to reach the interview invitation threshold even with a lower UCAT score than a typical invited applicant. The weighting varies by university: Birmingham gives 45% to GCSEs and 40% to UCAT; Newcastle gives 40 points for GCSEs and 60 for UCAT.

At UCAT-only ranking schools such as Bristol and Glasgow, GCSEs are used only to confirm you meet minimum grade requirements and do not compensate for a lower UCAT score. At hard cut-off schools, the cut-off applies to everyone regardless of grades.

Do individual UCAT subtest scores have cut-offs as well as the total?

At most universities, only the total UCAT score is used as a cut-off. However, a small number apply subtest minimums as well. The most notable is Warwick Medical School, which requires applicants to meet a minimum Verbal Reasoning score regardless of their overall total. The Warwick VR cut-off was 590 for 2025 entry. Any applicant scoring below this on Verbal Reasoning is automatically rejected even if their total score is competitive.

Edinburgh uses Verbal Reasoning as a tiebreaker in borderline cases. Some universities also use the SJT as a subtest filter. Always check individual admissions pages before applying as these policies can change annually.

UCAT cut-off scores for dentistry

Is the UCAT required for all UK dental school applications?

The majority of UK dental schools require the UCAT as part of the application process. The exceptions are primarily newer or graduate-entry programmes such as Surrey (which primarily uses GAMSAT) and UCLAN (which does not currently require the UCAT for dentistry). Most undergraduate dental programmes including Aberdeen, Birmingham, Bristol, Cardiff, Dundee, Glasgow, King's College London, Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester, Newcastle, Plymouth, Queen's Belfast and Sheffield all use UCAT.

The weight given to UCAT in dentistry admissions varies as much as it does in medicine. Glasgow ranks dentistry applicants almost entirely on UCAT score; Liverpool assesses holistically with no hard cut-off. The dental school entries on this page show how each school uses it.

Are UCAT cut-offs for dentistry higher or lower than for medicine?

At most universities, UCAT thresholds for dentistry are comparable to or slightly lower than the equivalent medical school threshold. This is partly because there are fewer dental school applicants overall, which can reduce how high competition pushes cut-offs. However, at schools such as Bristol, Glasgow and Manchester, dentistry UCAT cut-offs are extremely high and have historically been similar to or higher than medicine thresholds at those institutions.

The key difference is that dental schools receive far fewer widening participation applications than medical schools, so the WP adjustment route is less commonly available. If you are applying to both medicine and dentistry, treat the two separately when assessing your UCAT competitiveness at each school.

Scottish, graduate and international applicants

Are UCAT cut-offs different for Scottish students?

Yes. Scottish students applying to Scottish medical schools (Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh, Glasgow, St Andrews) are assessed in a separate applicant pool from Rest of UK (RUK) and international applicants. The historic UCAT cut-offs for Scottish domiciled applicants are generally lower than for RUK applicants at the same institution because Scottish-domiciled places are ring-fenced and competition within that pool is lower.

For example, Aberdeen's lowest UCAT score invited to interview for Scottish applicants in recent years has been considerably lower than for RUK applicants. The individual entries on this page show cut-offs by applicant category wherever each university publishes them.

Are UCAT cut-offs higher for international applicants?

In most cases, yes. International applicants compete for a much smaller number of places (typically 10 to 30 at most schools), which means competition within the international pool is intense and the implicit cut-off is higher. At schools such as Barts, Bristol, Edinburgh and Newcastle the historic lowest UCAT score invited to interview for international applicants is substantially higher than for home applicants.

There are exceptions: Brunel and UCLAN tend to have higher proportions of international places and lower effective international thresholds. The individual university entries on this page show international data where it is available. International applicants can access our online UCAT tutoring from anywhere in the world, with sessions scheduled to accommodate international time zones.

Are UCAT cut-offs different for graduate entry medicine applicants?

Yes. Graduate entry medicine (GEM) programmes are assessed separately from undergraduate entry and often have different UCAT thresholds. At King's College London (A102 GEM), the historic lowest UCAT score invited to interview is consistently higher than for the undergraduate programme. At schools such as Dundee, graduates are assessed with a 60/40 UCAT/academic weighting rather than the 40/60 applied to non-graduates, making UCAT more important for graduate applicants.

Not all universities offer graduate entry medicine. Those that do often have very small cohorts (sometimes fewer than 30 places nationally), which means cut-offs for GEM programmes can be significantly higher than for standard entry.

Improving your UCAT score

How much can I realistically improve my UCAT score?

Score improvements of 200 to 450 points on the 2700 scale are achievable with structured preparation, particularly for students who begin with below-average baseline scores or who have clear weaknesses in specific sections. The UCAT is a skills-based test, not a knowledge test, which means technique, timing and pattern recognition can be taught and improved systematically.

Students who benefit most from structured preparation are typically those who can identify the specific question types where they consistently lose marks. A 1-1 UCAT tutor can diagnose these weaknesses far more efficiently than question bank use alone. For a realistic assessment of your own improvement potential, book a free strategy call.

Which UCAT section is most important for meeting cut-off scores?

For most universities, the total UCAT score is what determines whether you meet the cut-off, so improving any section improves your chances. Some specific considerations: Verbal Reasoning matters most at universities with subtest minimums (Warwick) and those that use VR as a tiebreaker (Edinburgh), and it is the section most students find hardest to improve quickly. Decision Making is where well-coached students often make the largest gains, as syllogism and logical reasoning techniques are highly teachable. Quantitative Reasoning rewards calculator technique and shortcut knowledge. The SJT should not be neglected even where it is not used for shortlisting, as it affects post-interview offer decisions at some universities and Band 4 triggers rejection at many. Our free UCAT skill trainers cover all four sections with targeted drills.

How does this page compare to strategic application guides like MyUCAT's?

MyUCAT publishes a popular annual strategic application guide as a PDF, and resources like it are worth reading. This page covers the same strategic application question, which universities to choose for your UCAT score, but as a live web resource: the university table, per-school cut-off entries and score-band guidance update as universities confirm new information, rather than waiting for a next edition, and the built-in converter translates any historic figure between the 2700 and 3600 scales as you read.

Use whichever format works for you, and cross-check any guide, including this one, against each university's official admissions page before submitting your UCAS choices. If you want personalised strategic application support, our UCAT tutoring team builds shortlists around your exact score profile.

What free UCAT resources can I use alongside this cut-off guide?

TheUKCATPeople offers a full library of free UCAT resources, all available without an account or payment: free UCAT skills trainers covering all four sections; the UCAT score calculator to convert raw subtest marks to your scaled total; the UCAT deciles and percentiles guide for national benchmarking; complete guides to Verbal Reasoning, Decision Making, Quantitative Reasoning and Situational Judgement; and UCAT registration and key dates.
