University of Liverpool Dentistry: UCAT, A-Levels & Interview Requirements

University of Liverpool 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
No numeric weighting is published. The university states it has no set UCAT cut-off score, and that the total UCAT and SJT score is used, alongside a Non-Academic Information Questionnaire, to shortlist candidates for interview.
SJT policy
SJT is used at the shortlisting stage combined with the UCAT score. A Band 4 SJT score is explicitly stated as not competitive enough to be considered for the programme; no other band cut-offs are published.
A-level requirements
AAA in 3 A-levels taken together at one sitting after two years of study; Biology and Chemistry are essential, the third subject may be Arts or Sciences. GCSE: minimum of 8, with at least 5 at grade A/7 and 3 at grade B/6, including grade B/6 in English Language, Maths and Science.
Interview format
Multiple Mini Interviews, held mid-January through to the end of February. Station count and whether interviews are online or in person are not stated on the official pages checked.

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

UCAT Consortium, Test Statistics 2025

Standard A-level offer: AAA in 3 A-levels taken together at one sitting after two years of study; Biology and Chemistry are essential, the third subject may be Arts or Sciences. GCSE: minimum of 8, with at least 5 at grade A/7 and 3 at grade B/6, including grade B/6 in English Language, Maths and Science. SJT policy: SJT is used at the shortlisting stage combined with the UCAT score. A Band 4 SJT score is explicitly stated as not competitive enough to be considered for the programme; no other band cut-offs are published. Worth knowing: Third-party sites cite a specific UCAT/SJT-to-questionnaire weighting split that could not be verified on any official Liverpool page and has been excluded. Always confirm against the official page before applying, since this is the most recent published position rather than a guarantee for the live cycle.
