2027 UCAT cut off: Not published

SJT policy: Not used in the initial ranking score; the SJT result is used at the interview stage instead.

Interview format: Multiple Mini Interview: six or seven stations, each 8 minutes including 2 minutes of preparation time.

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 Birmingham's own threshold, since University of Birmingham doesn't publish one for the current cycle.

UCAT Consortium, Test Statistics 2025

Standard A-level offer: A*AA including Chemistry and a second science (Biology/Human Biology, Physics or Maths), predicted AAA minimum. Contextual offer: AAA, predicted AAB minimum. General Studies, Critical Thinking and EPQ are not accepted as a third A-level. SJT policy: Not used in the initial ranking score; the SJT result is used at the interview stage instead. Worth knowing: The UCAT format changed for the 2026 entry cycle: Abstract Reasoning was removed, so cognitive scores now scale 300 to 2,700 rather than the old 300 to 3,600. The university does not publish a fixed cut-off on either scale. Always confirm against the official page before applying, since this is the most recent published position rather than a guarantee for the live cycle.
