University of Lincoln Medicine: UCAT, A-Levels & Interview Requirements
University of Lincoln 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 and contextual factors.
- SJT policy
- SJT band used in selection.
- A-level requirements
- Standard offer AAA, which must include Biology or Human Biology. Contextual offer AAB, where one of the A grades must be in Biology; applicants must have studied three A-levels or equivalent to be eligible for a contextual offer. A pass is normally required in science practical tests where these are assessed separately. Lincoln does not accept General Studies, Critical Thinking, Global Perspectives, Citizenship Studies or the Extended Project Qualification. A-levels do not affect shortlisting: Lincoln states it does not use predicted A-level grades and does not score A-levels, AS levels or equivalents as part of its selection process, so predicted grades neither help nor hurt an application here in the way they do elsewhere. Any offer made is still conditional on achieving the grades. A-level resits are permitted and must reach AAA, or AAB contextual with one A grade in Biology, usually completed within two years of the initial sitting.
- Interview
Multiple Mini Interview, both, depending on the applicant.
Lincoln does not publish three of the five things a candidate needs before an interview.

- Resits
- A-level resits are permitted and must reach AAA, or AAB contextual with one A grade in Biology, usually completed within two years of the initial sitting.
- Personal statement
- University of Lincoln does not publish how it uses the personal statement. Schools in this dataset range from scoring it to refusing to read it, so nothing can safely be assumed from silence.
What the UCAT had to be, 2026 entry
University of Lincoln does not publish one.
That is the university's own position, not a gap in our research. Any specific number quoted for University of Lincoln elsewhere is somebody's reconstruction from reported scores, not a figure the medical school has confirmed. Treat it accordingly.
Lincoln publishes no threshold and says it has none, but it does publish the machinery, which is more useful. The UCAT contributes up to 30 of the 60 points in its Combined Academic Score, so it is worth half the shortlisting score, and where two candidates tie the raw UCAT total breaks it, meaning the test counts twice in effect. A band 4 SJT ends the application.

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 Lincoln's own threshold, since University of Lincoln doesn't publish one for the current cycle.
UCAT Consortium, Test Statistics 2026Standard A-level offer: Standard offer AAA, which must include Biology or Human Biology. Contextual offer AAB, where one of the A grades must be in Biology; applicants must have studied three A-levels or equivalent to be eligible for a contextual offer. A pass is normally required in science practical tests where these are assessed separately. Lincoln does not accept General Studies, Critical Thinking, Global Perspectives, Citizenship Studies or the Extended Project Qualification. A-levels do not affect shortlisting: Lincoln states it does not use predicted A-level grades and does not score A-levels, AS levels or equivalents as part of its selection process, so predicted grades neither help nor hurt an application here in the way they do elsewhere. Any offer made is still conditional on achieving the grades. A-level resits are permitted and must reach AAA, or AAB contextual with one A grade in Biology, usually completed within two years of the initial sitting. SJT policy: SJT band used in selection. Worth knowing: Lincoln has a UCAT cut-off and will not tell you what it is: it states that it does not publish its UCAT cut-off scores to applicants. What it does publish is the machinery, which is more useful. Selection for interview runs on a Combined Academic Score capped at 60, built from GCSEs, the UCAT and a contextualisation score where it applies. The UCAT contributes a maximum of 30 of those 60 points, split 15 from the Situational Judgement Test and 15 from the cognitive subtests, so at shortlisting the SJT is worth as much as every cognitive subtest put together. Where two candidates tie on the combined score, the higher raw UCAT total out of 2,700 ranks higher, so the test counts twice in effect. An SJT Band 4 ends the application outright. Interviews are MMIs over seven stations scored out of 70, and after interview that 70 is added to a halved Combined Academic Score, now out of 30, for a total out of 100, so the academic half counts for less after interview than before it. Always confirm against the official page before applying, since this is the most recent published position rather than a guarantee for the live cycle.
