Contextual offer: AAB, same subject requirements. GCSEs: 7+ at grade A(7)/A*(8) including English Language and Maths at minimum grade 6, plus at least two science subjects at minimum grade 6 (or BB in Dual Award/Core and Additional Science).

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

UCAT Consortium, Test Statistics 2025

Standard A-level offer: AAA including Biology/Human Biology or Chemistry, plus one further subject from Chemistry, Biology/Human Biology, Physics, Psychology, Mathematics or Further Mathematics. Contextual offer: AAB, same subject requirements. GCSEs: 7+ at grade A(7)/A*(8) including English Language and Maths at minimum grade 6, plus at least two science subjects at minimum grade 6 (or BB in Dual Award/Core and Additional Science). SJT policy: Only Band 1 or 2 is considered. Applicants achieving Band 3 or 4 are not considered further. Worth knowing: UCAT policy is stated to change from the 2026 cycle; check the university's UCAT page each year rather than relying on a prior year's threshold. Always confirm against the official page before applying, since this is the most recent published position rather than a guarantee for the live cycle.
