University of Kent and Medway School of Medicine: UCAT, A-Levels & Interview Requirements
University of Kent and Medway School of Medicine 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 score used in selection process alongside academic achievement.
- SJT policy
- SJT band used in selection.
- A-level requirements
- AAA or AAB in any order across three A-levels taken in the same examination year, with the offer set by the average A-level attainment of the applicant's school. Must include Chemistry and/or Biology; if both are not offered, one further subject from Physics, Maths, Psychology or Computer Science is required. Critical Thinking and General Studies are not accepted, and a pass in the practical endorsement is required for any science A-level. GCSEs: five at grade 9-6 including English Language, Maths, Biology, Chemistry and Physics, or Double Science plus one other.
- Interview
Multiple Mini Interview, December.
Kent and Medway does not publish three of the five things a candidate needs before an interview.

- Resits
- Split, and the two halves point opposite ways. KMMS does not accept A-level resits at all except through its extenuating circumstances process, but is happy to accept GCSE resits towards its minimum requirements, provided the resit is completed and the result held before applying.
- Personal statement
- Not used for the main applicant groups. KMMS mentions the personal statement only for its Group C and E routes, where it says the reference and personal statement will be important in the process.
What the UCAT had to be, 2026 entry
University of Kent and Medway School of Medicine does not publish one.
That is the university's own position, not a gap in our research. Any specific number quoted for University of Kent and Medway School of Medicine elsewhere is somebody's reconstruction from reported scores, not a figure the medical school has confirmed. Treat it accordingly.
KMMS publishes a threshold but not means or medians, and clearing the bar exhausts the UCAT's usefulness here: it states that high scorers will not necessarily be selected over lower scorers who also passed, because a second stage follows. Its 2025-6 figure of 2490 was on the old 3,600 scale, which its own note that this sat at the 47th centile confirms, and KMMS does not commit to repeating 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 Kent and Medway School of Medicine's own threshold, since University of Kent and Medway School of Medicine doesn't publish one for the current cycle.
UCAT Consortium, Test Statistics 2026Standard A-level offer: AAA or AAB in any order across three A-levels taken in the same examination year, with the offer set by the average A-level attainment of the applicant's school. Must include Chemistry and/or Biology; if both are not offered, one further subject from Physics, Maths, Psychology or Computer Science is required. Critical Thinking and General Studies are not accepted, and a pass in the practical endorsement is required for any science A-level. GCSEs: five at grade 9-6 including English Language, Maths, Biology, Chemistry and Physics, or Double Science plus one other. SJT policy: SJT band used in selection. Worth knowing: For 2025-6 the threshold was a total UCAT score of 2490 or above, which KMMS says corresponded to the 47th centile, together with SJT band 3 or above for standard applicants and band 2 or above for graduates. KMMS repeats beside that figure that it does not necessarily commit to the same, or a similar, threshold for selection for 2027 entry, so the number is history rather than a target. Unlike Keele, KMMS does not state what happens to a Band 4 result, only the minimum band that is acceptable. Always confirm against the official page before applying, since this is the most recent published position rather than a guarantee for the live cycle.
