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 Leicester's own threshold, since University of Leicester doesn't publish one for the current cycle.

UCAT Consortium, Test Statistics 2025

Standard A-level offer: Standard offer A*AA including Chemistry or Biology plus one of Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Maths or Psychology (General Studies, Citizenship Studies, Critical Thinking and Global Perspectives excluded); alternate offers of AAAB or AAA plus EPQ/4th-subject AS also considered. GCSE: minimum grade B/6 in English Language, Maths and two sciences. SJT policy: Applicants with SJT Band 4 are automatically rejected pre-interview. Guaranteed-interview widening-access routes additionally require SJT Band 1 to 3 combined with a UCAT score in the top 7 deciles. Worth knowing: Leicester states it reserves the right to change its scoring system at any point, so the weighting formula here should be checked each cycle rather than assumed to carry over. Always confirm against the official page before applying, since this is the most recent published position rather than a guarantee for the live cycle.
