Queen Mary University of London Medicine: UCAT, A-Levels & Interview Requirements
Queen Mary University of London 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 is used at first shortlisting as a pass/fail floor (4th decile or above, with SJT Bands 1-3), then feeds a weighted score at second shortlisting alongside UCAS tariff (or degree score for graduates) to select interviewees, and may be weighed again post-interview alongside interview score and SJT for final offers.
- SJT policy
- SJT Band 4 results in automatic rejection at first shortlisting; Bands 1 to 3 are required to proceed, and the SJT score may be reconsidered again at the final offer-decision stage.
- A-level requirements
- Standard offer A*AA achieved in one sitting over no more than two years, including Biology or Chemistry plus a second science subject. GCSEs: six at grades 777666/AAABBB including Biology, Chemistry, English Language or Literature, and Mathematics.
- Interview format
- QMUL's two official sources disagree on format: its Admissions Policy document says the university may use either MMI or panel interviews, in person or virtually, usually January to March; a separate selection-criteria page describes online-only panel interviews of two senior academic/clinical staff, January to February.
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 Queen Mary University of London's own threshold, since Queen Mary University of London doesn't publish one for the current cycle.

Worth knowing: QMUL had not published a selection-criteria page or admissions policy explicitly re-labelled for the current cycle as of this check; the course-finder page confirmed for the current cycle carries the same UCAT/SJT/A-level figures as the older pages, but interview-format details are unconfirmed for this cycle and flagged as provisional. Always confirm against the official page before applying, since this is the most recent published position rather than a guarantee for the live cycle.
