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? | Yes. The university publishes a number, further down this page. Miss it and you are not shortlisted. It is reset every year, so last year’s figure is a guide, not a promise. |
| 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 | GCSEs are a gate. Meeting the minimum is what counts; beating it earns nothing. |
| Note | The minimum applies to each UCAT section separately, not to the total, so a strong overall score with one weak section can still fall short. |
UCAT requirements
| Item | Detail |
|---|
| Per-section minimum | 500 in each individual section |
| Overall minimum | Calculated annually |
| SJT | Used after interview when making offers, not for shortlisting |
Summary of the selection model
| Item | Detail |
|---|
| Scoring approach | Section-level UCAT floor of 500 plus an annual overall minimum. SJT applied post-interview at the offer stage. Personal statement used for interview selection and checked before offers |
| UCAT - how it is used | Used to select for interview, with a per-section floor of 500. SJT used after interview when making offers |
| UCAT threshold | Minimum 500 in each individual section, plus an overall minimum recalculated each year |
| UCAT lowest accepted | Unknown. The per-section floor of 500 and the annual overall minimum are the only figures given, and the overall minimum itself is not disclosed |
| UCAT average accepted | Unknown. City St George's publishes applications, interviews and offers, but no UCAT mean, no distribution and no SJT band counts. A request is live and a clarification was sent 17 September |
| Interview format | MMI; asynchronous video interviews may also be used |
| Contextual offer | Two-grade reduction for Group 1 or Group 2 eligible applicants |
| Resits | A levels in one sitting over a maximum of two years. GCSE resits accepted |
| Data status | Partial. The per-section floor of 500 and the fact of an annual overall minimum are published, but the overall minimum itself is not, and there is no UCAT mean, no distribution and no SJT band count for any cycle. FOI IRR0006408 is live: the original request of 17 August went to the old sgul.ac.uk mailbox, which is no longer monitored after the merger, so it was resent to City on 15 September and clarification was sent on 17 September. Response due 15 October. |
