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, but it is set after applications close, so nobody knows it in advance. Past years are below. |
| 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.
The SJT band is a gate, and band 4 ends the application whatever else you have. |

| Data status | UCAT threshold not published in advance. Edge Hill refused all seven questions under section 43(2) on 10 September 2026 (FOI202526217); an internal review was requested on 17 September and acknowledged on 18 September. The only substantive statement in the response is that the University does not recruit international students to this award and that the number of places is set each year with the Department for Education and the Medical Schools Council. No volumes, no mean, no distribution and no threshold figure are held here. |
