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? | No. Applicants are put in order by UCAT score and the university works down the list until the interview places run out. The line moves with the field each year. Any contextual adjustment is 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 scored and adds to your total. |
Summary of the selection model
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Scoring approach | Academic screen first, then ranked on UCAT with no fixed cut-off |
| UCAT - how it is used | All applicants sit the UCAT between July and September. Candidates are ranked by score; there is no fixed cut-off. Shortlisting combines meeting the academic requirements with UCAT performance |
| UCAT threshold | No fixed cut-off - ranked |
| UCAT lowest accepted | Unknown. Hertfordshire states that the score of those invited is expected to vary year on year and that it is not possible to indicate what will be required. First intake is September 2026, international applicants only, with home places expected from 2027. Not yet asked under FOI |
| UCAT average accepted | Unknown, as above. Up to 70 places |
| Interview format | Online MMI, November to April |
| Contextual offer | Access to Medicine diploma route requires 39 credits at distinction and 6 at merit |
| Data status | New school - UCAT figures not yet published |
| Fee status | International students only. The university uses the same wording for September 2026 and September 2027 entry, so the promise of home places from 2027 has not materialised. Fees 42,000 pounds for 2026-27 and 47,500 pounds for 2027-28, with a 10,000 pound deposit. |
| GMC status | Not yet approved to award a UK primary medical qualification. The course page says the university is working with the GMC to gain accreditation and sets out a contingency under which students would transfer to City St George's. A separate university page claims the MBBS is recognised by the GMC. The two statements cannot both be right. |
| Interview detail | Asynchronous online MMI on the SAMMI platform. About 50 minutes, seven questions, four minutes each with a one minute break. No live interviewer. Candidates have 14 days to start but must finish in one unpaused sitting. No rubric published. |
| Contextual offer (further detail) | No contextual offer, no reduced grades and no widening participation pathway published for this course. The Access to Medicine route above is an entry qualification, not a contextual reduction. |
| Funded places | None. Hertfordshire does not appear anywhere in the Office for Students maximum fundable limits, which is consistent with an international-only intake. |
| Data status (further detail) | Nothing published. The 2026 cycle is the first, so there is at most one cycle of data. On a previous request for another course the university released figures rounded to the nearest five, so any request should ask for the rounding rule to be stated. |
