University of Exeter Medicine: UCAT, A-Levels & Interview Requirements
University of Exeter 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 is not scored as a standalone pass/fail threshold. It is combined with academic grades in a 3:1 (academic to UCAT) weighted matrix that converts UCAT performance into national deciles and grades into an Exeter Score out of 90 (up to 105 with achieved-grades and widening-participation uplifts), which determines interview ranking.
- SJT policy
- Not addressed anywhere in Exeter's official current-cycle admissions policy. No separate SJT band, cut-off, or usage stage is published; only the overall UCAT decile feeds the selection matrix.
- A-level requirements
- Typical offer A*AA including grade A in both Biology and Chemistry (General Studies excluded). Contextual offer AAB, same subject requirement. GCSE English Language grade B/6 required.
- Interview format
- Multiple Mini Interview, held December to March. Exeter expects to interview approximately 800 applicants in total. Station count is not disclosed in the official policy document; a separate FAQ page states interviews run either in person or online, without further detail.
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 Exeter's own threshold, since University of Exeter doesn't publish one for the current cycle.
UCAT Consortium, Test Statistics 2025Standard A-level offer: Typical offer A*AA including grade A in both Biology and Chemistry (General Studies excluded). Contextual offer AAB, same subject requirement. GCSE English Language grade B/6 required. SJT policy: Not addressed anywhere in Exeter's official current-cycle admissions policy. No separate SJT band, cut-off, or usage stage is published; only the overall UCAT decile feeds the selection matrix. Worth knowing: Applicants must sit UCAT by mid-September of the application year for the current cycle; scores cannot carry over between years. Meeting the typical or contextual offer does not guarantee an interview invite. Always confirm against the official page before applying, since this is the most recent published position rather than a guarantee for the live cycle.
