BM BCh Medicine Graduate Entry (A101)
How this university scores applications, with the figures it publishes.
High level summary
Simple summary. Excruciating detail below.
| Question | Answer |
|---|
| Is there a score to clear? | In effect yes, though no number is published. The university says it would not normally interview below a stated share of its own applicants, so there is a line. Because it is a share and not a score, where it falls depends on who applies that year. |
| How to read the UCAT figures here | Neither a lowest score nor an average is published, so there is nothing here to measure against. |
| What else counts | Degree subject and class are a requirement in their own right. Details below.
GCSEs are a gate. Meeting the minimum is what counts; beating it earns nothing.
No SJT rule is published. |
| The odds | Of every 100 who applied, about 50 were interviewed and about 23 were offered a place.
(2026 entry round. 197 complete applications, 99 shortlisted, 46 offers. No place number is published for the graduate course.) |
| Where it is decided | Both stages. About half the field goes before interview, so the score and the interview each do half the work.
Of those interviewed, about 46 in 100 were offered a place. |
Summary of the selection model
| Item | Detail |
|---|
| Scoring approach | UCAT combined with a scored application to form the shortlisting score. Personal statement used as one component in selection for interview |
| Admissions test - how it is used | UCAT is combined with the application score to form a shortlisting score |
| GAMSAT requirement | Unknown |
| UCAT threshold | A SOFT BAR, not a number. Oxford publishes no numerical threshold, but its own guidance says it would normally expect NOT to interview applicants whose scores fall below the top 40 per cent of its own candidates. Shortlisting for the 2026 entry round used a UCAT decile score based predominantly on Verbal Reasoning, Decision Making and Quantitative Reasoning, combined with the scored application. Because the line is expressed as a share of Oxford's own pool rather than as a score, it moves with who applies each year. |
| Interview format | Online traditional panel interviews |
| Data status | Volumes published for the 2026 entry round: 197 complete applications, 99 shortlisted, 46 offers. No UCAT scores disclosed. An internal review was requested on 17 September 2026 |
