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? | Not published. No score can be called safe or out of reach here. Treat figures from other sources with care. |
| How to read the UCAT figures here | A lowest score and an average are both published. Judge yourself against the average. The lowest is one person. |
| What else counts | GCSEs are a gate. Meeting the minimum is what counts; beating it earns nothing. No SJT rule is published. |
Summary of the selection model
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Scoring approach | UCAT used in selection with no published threshold. Personal statement used during the interview |
| UCAT - how it is used | Required. It is the whole of the pre-interview ranking. Widening participation applicants receive a 10 per cent uplift on the UCAT total |
| UCAT threshold | No cut-off published by the University. The lowest score actually invited has been released under FOI |
| UCAT lowest accepted | 2025 entry: ~1780 standard and ~1600 contextual of 2700, converted from 2400 and 2170 of 3600 |
| UCAT average accepted | 2025 entry: ~1880 of 2700, converted from 2545 of 3600 |
| Interview format | In-person and online MMI |
| Contextual offer | Two things. A reduction of 8 UCAS points, AAB at A2, for care leavers or postcode-based widening participation criteria. And a 10 per cent uplift applied to the UCAT total itself, which is the part that moves the bar |
| Resits | All resits in the same academic year; one resit attempt per A2 subject |
| Data status | Released under FOI to other requesters. Nothing has been released covering the 2026 cycle |
