University of Glasgow Dentistry: UCAT, A-Levels & Interview Requirements
University of Glasgow 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 dentistry.
- 2027 UCAT cut off
- Not published
- How the UCAT is weighted
- UCAT is used as the ranking and shortlisting tool for interview selection; a score deemed too low results in no interview offer regardless of academic qualifications. No fixed cut-off score is published in advance or during the cycle.
- SJT policy
- Not used. Glasgow states explicitly that it does not take SJT banding into account in its decision making.
- A-level requirements
- AAA in three different subjects by the end of Year 13, including Biology/Human Biology and Chemistry both at grade A; General Studies is not accepted as the third subject. GCSE: 6 subjects at grade A/7 including Maths or Physics, and English Language or Literature.
- Interview format
- Multiple Mini Interview with 7 stations of around 6 minutes each, including 1 minute of reading time, roughly 45 minutes in total, covering role-play, discussion and practical station types. Invites sent in December, interviews held on a weekend in February.
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 Glasgow's own threshold, since University of Glasgow doesn't publish one for the current cycle.
UCAT Consortium, Test Statistics 2025Standard A-level offer: AAA in three different subjects by the end of Year 13, including Biology/Human Biology and Chemistry both at grade A; General Studies is not accepted as the third subject. GCSE: 6 subjects at grade A/7 including Maths or Physics, and English Language or Literature. SJT policy: Not used. Glasgow states explicitly that it does not take SJT banding into account in its decision making. Worth knowing: The academic entry requirements page found is titled for entry in 2025, one cycle behind both 2026 and 2027; no page explicitly updated for 2026 or 2027 entry could be found, despite the current UCAS course listing confirming a 2026-27 academic session exists. The official interview-format page also returned a fetch error and was sourced via a search-engine excerpt rather than a direct read. Both facts should be treated as the best available rather than fully current, and re-verified before relying on them. Always confirm against the official page before applying, since this is the most recent published position rather than a guarantee for the live cycle.
