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

2027 UCAT cut off

Not published

How the UCAT is weighted

All applicants must sit the UCAT in their year of application, and Dundee states there is no minimum cut-off score. Its entry requirements page gives no percentage weighting and no scoring formula combining the UCAT with academic scores.

SJT policy

Dundee states that UCAT Situational Judgement Test bands are not used as part of the initial selection for interview process, so a weaker band does not block an applicant at the shortlisting stage. Dundee does not state how the band is treated after that point.

A-level requirements

Standard offer AAA (widening access ABB), including Chemistry or Biology plus another science (Mathematics accepted), all in one sitting two years after GCSE; third subject is free choice, General Studies not accepted. GCSE: Biology and Chemistry at grade 7 required; Maths and English at grade 6 required if not taken at A-level.

Interview

Dundee describes its interview without calling it an MMI or a panel, both, depending on the applicant, January.

Dundee does not publish three of the five things a candidate needs before an interview.

Resits

University of Dundee 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 Dundee 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.

Standard A-level offer: Standard offer AAA (widening access ABB), including Chemistry or Biology plus another science (Mathematics accepted), all in one sitting two years after GCSE; third subject is free choice, General Studies not accepted. GCSE: Biology and Chemistry at grade 7 required; Maths and English at grade 6 required if not taken at A-level. SJT policy: Dundee states that UCAT Situational Judgement Test bands are not used as part of the initial selection for interview process, so a weaker band does not block an applicant at the shortlisting stage. Dundee does not state how the band is treated after that point. Worth knowing: Dundee publishes more history than almost anyone: applications, interviews, offers and the average UCAT of those interviewed, going back to 2019/20 entry and split by fee status. All of it sits on the old 3,600 maximum, and Dundee itself flags that the withdrawal of abstract reasoning in 2025 moved the maximum from 3,600 to 2,700, so none of these figures line up with a score sat today. For 2023/24 entry it took 1,951 applications, invited 844 to interview and made 570 offers for 218 matriculations, and the average UCAT among those interviewed was 2,675, spread from 1,900 to 3,400 on that old scale. The pattern worth taking from it is the fee-status gap rather than the raw numbers: Scottish applicants were invited to interview at roughly 63%, rest-of-UK applicants at roughly 23%. Dundee states that UCAT Situational Judgement Test bands are not used as part of the initial selection for interview process, and cautions that the tables are a guide to historic admissions data only, because the number and quality of applications vary year on year and its selection process is reviewed annually. Always confirm against the official page before applying, since this is the most recent published position rather than a guarantee for the live cycle.
