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

University of Bristol has not published a fixed minimum score for 2027 entry. Instead: Once minimum academic entry requirements are met (predicted or achieved), applications are scored with 100% weighting on the UCAT result, which is used to select candidates for interview. For 2026 entry, the last completed cycle, the final threshold actually used was 2,240 (home) and 2,270 (overseas); Bristol states this is not predictive of the current cycle.

What interview format does University of Bristol use for medicine?

Online, formal structured interview via a remote interview system (Zoom in the last confirmed cycle). Bristol confirms interviews stay online for this cycle but has not restated station count or duration on the current admissions statement; the most recently confirmed format (on a page not yet refreshed for this cycle) was six stations, three assessors per group, about 30 minutes..

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

University of Bristol 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: Once minimum academic entry requirements are met (predicted or achieved), applications are scored with 100% weighting on the UCAT result, which is used to select candidates for interview. For 2026 entry, the last completed cycle, the final threshold actually used was 2,240 (home) and 2,270 (overseas); Bristol states this is not predictive of the current cycle.
SJT policy: The Situational Judgement subtest is excluded from the combined score used to select applicants for interview; all other subtests are treated equally. No SJT band or cut-off is published.
A-level requirements: Standard offer AAA including Chemistry and one of Biology, Physics, Mathematics or Further Mathematics. Contextual offer ABB (A in Chemistry, B in one of Biology/Physics/Maths/Further Maths). GCSE: grade 7/A in Maths and grade 4/C in English or equivalent.
Interview format: Online, formal structured interview via a remote interview system (Zoom in the last confirmed cycle). Bristol confirms interviews stay online for this cycle but has not restated station count or duration on the current admissions statement; the most recently confirmed format (on a page not yet refreshed for this cycle) was six stations, three assessors per group, about 30 minutes.

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

UCAT Consortium, Test Statistics 2025

Standard A-level offer: Standard offer AAA including Chemistry and one of Biology, Physics, Mathematics or Further Mathematics. Contextual offer ABB (A in Chemistry, B in one of Biology/Physics/Maths/Further Maths). GCSE: grade 7/A in Maths and grade 4/C in English or equivalent. SJT policy: The Situational Judgement subtest is excluded from the combined score used to select applicants for interview; all other subtests are treated equally. No SJT band or cut-off is published. Worth knowing: The dedicated interview-format webpage still displays the prior cycle's dates as of this check, so the six-station format above is last-confirmed rather than reconfirmed for the current cycle. UCAT must be taken in the same calendar year as application. Always confirm against the official page before applying, since this is the most recent published position rather than a guarantee for the live cycle.
