University of Buckingham Medicine: UCAT, A-Levels & Interview Requirements
University of Buckingham 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
- Uses in-house Multiple Mini Assessment (MMA) instead of UCAT; no UCAT required.
- SJT policy
- No SJT requirement.
- A-level requirements
- A minimum of grades ABB, including Chemistry or Biology. GCSEs: at least grade 4 in English and grade 4 in Maths, or equivalent, with no stated requirement for a number of GCSEs or for science subjects; non-native English speakers may meet the English requirement through IELTS. This is the lowest published standard offer of any UK medical school, and Buckingham does not require the UCAT. Buckingham does not accept BTECs for this programme.
- Interview
Multiple Mini Interview.
Buckingham does not publish four of the five things a candidate needs before an interview.
Buckingham interview: full format, stations, dates and what is not published
- Resits
- University of Buckingham publishes no resit policy. That is not the same as resits being accepted, and it is worth asking admissions directly before relying on either reading.
- Personal statement
- University of Buckingham does not publish how it uses the personal statement. Schools in this dataset range from scoring it to refusing to read it, so nothing can safely be assumed from silence.
What the UCAT had to be
University of Buckingham does not publish one.
That is the university's own position, not a gap in our research. Any specific number quoted for University of Buckingham elsewhere is somebody's reconstruction from reported scores, not a figure the medical school has confirmed. Treat it accordingly.
Buckingham does not require the UCAT at all, so there is no threshold, mean or median to publish. A UCAT score is simply not part of the decision here, so there is nothing for an applicant to reason from and nothing they can do to improve it.

National benchmark, for context
For context, the UCAT Consortium's own 2026 statistics report a mean cognitive score of 1918 (out of 2,700) across 42,359 tests, with the median (5th decile) at 1920 and the top decile at 2250+. This is a national figure, not University of Buckingham's own threshold, since University of Buckingham doesn't publish one for the current cycle.
UCAT Consortium, Test Statistics 2026Standard A-level offer: A minimum of grades ABB, including Chemistry or Biology. GCSEs: at least grade 4 in English and grade 4 in Maths, or equivalent, with no stated requirement for a number of GCSEs or for science subjects; non-native English speakers may meet the English requirement through IELTS. This is the lowest published standard offer of any UK medical school, and Buckingham does not require the UCAT. Buckingham does not accept BTECs for this programme. SJT policy: No SJT requirement. Worth knowing: Buckingham publishes a three-stage selection process with no admissions test in it: an academic screen of the written application, then a computer-based Multiple Mini Assessment testing analysis, interpretation and judgement against Good Medical Practice, then a Multiple Mini Interview. The UCAT is not named at any stage and the word does not appear on the course page, which makes Buckingham a genuine option for a strong candidate whose test went badly. It is a private medical school with its own timetable: applications for the January 2027 intake close on 25 May 2026, not through the October UCAS deadline. Its academic bar is the lowest standard offer in this directory, a minimum of ABB including Chemistry or Biology. Strong performers can receive an offer at the assessment stage without reaching interview. Using AI in either the assessment or the interview is expressly forbidden and Buckingham says suspicion of it will be investigated. Always confirm against the official page before applying, since this is the most recent published position rather than a guarantee for the live cycle.
