What UCAT score do I need for University of Plymouth Dentistry?

University of Plymouth has not published a fixed minimum score for 2027 entry. Instead: UCAT results are used alongside A-levels and GCSEs to select candidates for interview. Plymouth applies a UCAT threshold score each year but does not confirm it until all applications for that cycle have been assessed, so no cut-off has been published for the current cycle; the most recently published figure is 2,690 (home) / 2,640 (international) for a prior cycle.

What interview format does University of Plymouth use for dentistry?

Multiple Mini Interviews, described as OSCE-style stations with unseen cases exploring attitudes and outlook rather than medical knowledge. The only station-count detail found (five stations, four interviewers, about 55 minutes, delivered online) was labelled for an older cycle and should not be assumed current..

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

University of Plymouth 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: UCAT results are used alongside A-levels and GCSEs to select candidates for interview. Plymouth applies a UCAT threshold score each year but does not confirm it until all applications for that cycle have been assessed, so no cut-off has been published for the current cycle; the most recently published figure is 2,690 (home) / 2,640 (international) for a prior cycle.
SJT policy: SJT is part of the UCAT taken alongside the three cognitive subtests, used within the overall UCAT threshold for interview shortlisting; no separate SJT band cut-off is published.
A-level requirements: Standard offer A*AA to AAB (Widening Access offer AAB), including grade A in Biology and grade A in a second science from Chemistry, Physics, Maths or Psychology, third subject from any area. GCSEs: 7 passes at grade C/4 or higher including English Language, Mathematics and two Science subjects.
Interview format: Multiple Mini Interviews, described as OSCE-style stations with unseen cases exploring attitudes and outlook rather than medical knowledge. The only station-count detail found (five stations, four interviewers, about 55 minutes, delivered online) was labelled for an older cycle and should not be assumed current.

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

SJT policy: SJT is part of the UCAT taken alongside the three cognitive subtests, used within the overall UCAT threshold for interview shortlisting; no separate SJT band cut-off is published. Worth knowing: Official pages had not been updated for the current cycle as of this check; the course page stated the prior cycle's deadline had passed and the university was no longer accepting submissions under that label. Content here is the best available official source, not confirmed current. Always confirm against the official page before applying, since this is the most recent published position rather than a guarantee for the live cycle.
