How selection works

UCAS application by 15 October deadline. Home applicants ranked for interview by application score (45% GCSE, 40% UCAT, 15% contextual for the 2025-26 cycle; no fixed UCAT cut-off). Home graduate applicants ranked by UCAT score alone once academic threshold is met. International applicants first screened against a minimum academic-results bar (A*AA-equivalent), then ranked purely on raw UCAT total. Multiple Mini Interview: in-person for Home applicants, online for International. Interviews run January-February; decisions on UCAS Track by mid-March.
