What UCAT score do I need for University of Aberdeen Medicine?

University of Aberdeen has not published a fixed minimum score for 2027 entry. Instead: UCAT counts for 20% of the pre-interview score, combined with academic attainment/predictions at 30%, to determine interview invites. Post-interview, the final score is academic 30% / UCAT 20% / interview 50%. No minimum UCAT cut-off score is used.

What interview format does University of Aberdeen use for medicine?

Modified Multiple Mini Interview, in person at the Suttie Centre, Foresterhill, approximately 1 hour per candidate across 5 stations (motivation, core qualities, critical thinking, teamwork, professionalism). This format is confirmed on a page still labelled for the prior admissions cycle; no distinct current-cycle interview page was found..

University of Aberdeen Medicine: UCAT, A-Levels & Interview Requirements

University of Aberdeen has not published a fixed UCAT cut-off for 2027 entry. Here's how UCAT, A-levels, SJT and the interview all fit together for medicine.

2027 UCAT cut off: Not published
How the UCAT is weighted: UCAT counts for 20% of the pre-interview score, combined with academic attainment/predictions at 30%, to determine interview invites. Post-interview, the final score is academic 30% / UCAT 20% / interview 50%. No minimum UCAT cut-off score is used.
SJT policy: SJT is one of four UCAT subtests factored into the overall UCAT score used in selection; Aberdeen's official pages do not publish a separate SJT band cut-off or distinct SJT weighting policy.
A-level requirements: Standard offer AAA in three appropriate subjects at first sitting (resits not normally accepted absent serious mitigating circumstances). Chemistry required, plus one of Biology/Human Biology/Maths/Physics, plus one further subject. GCSEs: Grade 6 in English Language and Maths required.
Interview format: Modified Multiple Mini Interview, in person at the Suttie Centre, Foresterhill, approximately 1 hour per candidate across 5 stations (motivation, core qualities, critical thinking, teamwork, professionalism). This format is confirmed on a page still labelled for the prior admissions cycle; no distinct current-cycle interview page was found.

National benchmark, for context

For context, the UCAT Consortium's own 2025 statistics report a mean cognitive score of 1891 (out of 2,700) across 41,354 tests, with the median (5th decile) at 1880 and the top decile at 2220+. This is a national figure, not University of Aberdeen's own threshold, since University of Aberdeen doesn't publish one for the current cycle.

UCAT Consortium, Test Statistics 2025

Standard A-level offer: Standard offer AAA in three appropriate subjects at first sitting (resits not normally accepted absent serious mitigating circumstances). Chemistry required, plus one of Biology/Human Biology/Maths/Physics, plus one further subject. GCSEs: Grade 6 in English Language and Maths required. SJT policy: SJT is one of four UCAT subtests factored into the overall UCAT score used in selection; Aberdeen's official pages do not publish a separate SJT band cut-off or distinct SJT weighting policy. Worth knowing: The academic-requirements page explicitly references the current cycle's UCAS deadline and is confirmed current; the interview-process page is last-known from the prior cycle and flagged as pending an update. Always confirm against the official page before applying, since this is the most recent published position rather than a guarantee for the live cycle.
