University of Leeds Medicine: 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 medicine.

2027 UCAT cut off: Not published
How the UCAT is weighted: UCAT score is combined with academic criteria into a total rank score. There is no fixed pass or fail threshold; a high academic score can compensate for a lower UCAT score and vice versa. Leeds only began using the UCAT in 2024, so historical threshold data is limited.
SJT policy: The SJT is one of the four UCAT subtests taken, but Leeds does not publish a separate SJT band cut-off or distinct use of the SJT score in selection.
A-level requirements: Standard offer AAA including Chemistry and Biology; an A* cannot compensate for a B in another subject. GCSE minimum: 6 GCSEs at grade 6 or above including Maths, English Language, and Biology and Chemistry or Dual Science, though shortlisting scoring is based on 8 GCSEs.
Interview format: Multiple Mini Interview with 8 stations, 6 minutes per station plus 2 minutes of reading and preparation time outside each station, one interviewer per station. In person on campus for UK applicants, online for overseas applicants. Assesses communication, ethical reasoning and problem solving, not clinical or scientific knowledge.

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 2025

Standard A-level offer: Standard offer AAA including Chemistry and Biology; an A* cannot compensate for a B in another subject. GCSE minimum: 6 GCSEs at grade 6 or above including Maths, English Language, and Biology and Chemistry or Dual Science, though shortlisting scoring is based on 8 GCSEs. SJT policy: The SJT is one of the four UCAT subtests taken, but Leeds does not publish a separate SJT band cut-off or distinct use of the SJT score in selection. Worth knowing: The live cycle is labelled 2027 entry (interviews January 2027). No numeric UCAT cut-off is published for any recent cycle, only a non-binding guide. Always confirm against the official page before applying, since this is the most recent published position rather than a guarantee for the live cycle.
