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 scored. Good grades earn points here. The SJT band is scored and adds to your total. |
Summary of the selection model
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Scoring approach | Eight GCSEs are scored, then applications are ranked on UCAT for shortlisting. Only the first UCAT attempt counts and no alternative test is accepted. Personal statement used during the interview |
| UCAT - how it is used | UCAT required in the year of application. Alternative admissions tests are not accepted and only the first attempt score is accepted. Used to rank applications for interview shortlisting |
| UCAT threshold | No fixed threshold - ranked |
| UCAT lowest accepted | |
| UCAT average accepted | |
| Interview format | MMI |
| Contextual offer | Reduced academic offers for widening participation applicants with evidence of disadvantage, home fee status only |
| Resits | Only considered in exceptional circumstances with documented evidence |
| Data status | New school - UCAT figures not yet published |
| CORRECTION - contextual offer | No defined contextual or widening participation scheme appears on the university pages, and the course is open to international applicants only, so a reduction limited to home fee status could not apply to anyone at present. The only related provision found is acceptance of the Access to HE Diploma. |
| Fee status | International students only for both 2026 and 2027 entry, in the university's own words. Fees 48,000 pounds a year for 2026, with ten scholarships of 3,000 pounds a year. The 2027 fee is not published. |
| GMC status | 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 the University of Lancashire. The 2026-27 programme specification instead lists the GMC flatly as an accreditation held. The two statements cannot both be right. |
| GCSE scoring | Eight GCSEs are scored. The published minimum is grade 6 in Maths, English Language, Biology and Chemistry or Dual Science, but the university states that applicants at the minimum are unlikely to be shortlisted, so the stated minimum understates the real bar. |
| Interview detail | Asynchronous automated MMI on the SAMMI Select platform. Fully virtual, pre-recorded questions and recorded answers, about 90 minutes in one sitting with no pause or save. Number of stations not published. |
| Funded places | None. St Mary's does not appear in the Office for Students maximum fundable limits in any year, which is consistent with having no allocated home places at all. |
| Data status (further detail) | Nothing published, and the Medical Schools Council entry records that no admissions statistics or place numbers were provided. First cohort started 14 September 2026, so one cycle is complete and it was international only. |
