University of Leeds Dentistry: UCAT, A-Levels & Interview Requirements
University of Leeds 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
- Leeds does not currently impose a UCAT cut-off score. Applications are assessed against academic criteria (achieved and predicted grades) together with the UCAT score to determine who is invited to interview; no numeric weighting formula is published.
- SJT policy
- Not addressed on the official course page for the current cycle; no mention of the SJT, any band, or a cut-off. Third-party sites claim SJT is not used, but this is unconfirmed by the university itself.
- A-level requirements
- Standard offer AAA including Biology and Chemistry (excluding General Studies and Critical Thinking), with a required pass in the practical element of any science A-levels. GCSE: minimum of 6 at grade 6/B or higher, including Chemistry, Biology (or Dual Science), English and Maths.
- Interview format
- Multiple Mini Interview: candidates rotate through a series of stations, each with a task or short questions that is scored. Typically held in February. The delivery method (online vs in person) for the current cycle had not been announced as of this check.
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 Leeds's own threshold, since University of Leeds doesn't publish one for the current cycle.
UCAT Consortium, Test Statistics 2025Standard A-level offer: Standard offer AAA including Biology and Chemistry (excluding General Studies and Critical Thinking), with a required pass in the practical element of any science A-levels. GCSE: minimum of 6 at grade 6/B or higher, including Chemistry, Biology (or Dual Science), English and Maths. SJT policy: Not addressed on the official course page for the current cycle; no mention of the SJT, any band, or a cut-off. Third-party sites claim SJT is not used, but this is unconfirmed by the university itself. Worth knowing: Number of MMI stations is not published. Interview delivery mode for the current cycle was pending an announcement timed to Leeds's June Open Day. Always confirm against the official page before applying, since this is the most recent published position rather than a guarantee for the live cycle.
